This is only for RM propaganda figures and they dont care how much it costs RM and eventually the tax payer to make it look like the strikes are failing. They have no morals in management and probably a dam sight less in other walks of life.
There was nearly a full team ready for work at my office. They would have delivered but there wasnt enough mail for them to warrant even going out. A manager said that they would prob have to go deliver specials in another area when he last came in. But since they couldnt get hold of a manager to speak to they all went home about 9am

It's just a crafty move but a perfectly legal and obviously worthwhile (yes, for them) letter to send out. Not going to wash with me but it will for some.

Got mine as well :whistle

here's an idea :hmmmm
you could tell your DOM to get you a taxi in, then get out at the gate and stand on the picket line :nana


i have heard from my rep today that area rep has been in touch and told him that if you received a letter to fill in a bullying and harassment form
he was told by the B&H centre, and it should be headed with royal mail being the perpetrator.

Return to Sender. Unsolicited mail.
Not read mine yet... saw it yesterday on the doormat and left it alone. Last one I got I opened it up and read it and then ripped it up and threw it in the bin. I'll open this one first and then return it.. they'll have to pay a surcharge then. Whoever does those letters on sorting... make sure that any opened letters are put in the surcharge box.
