Has anyone got a phone number for the IB?

For the 5 hours we were on the line last night nobody was manning our gatehouse or watching the cameras around the building, :no no just thought it would be nice for them to have a visit off the IB next time we are on strike :left:

Could it be related to this and the GMC Saga that no-one seems to know about in GMC, or just speculates on the numbers of management suspended, on full pay .. and sadly not from the Kingston Bridge!! :Very Happy

Yup i know it ain't mate.

It's just the conspiracy of silence that exists when you ask about it, as if it's brushed under the huge proverbial carpet, and the one rule for them, one rule for us that exists all over this company.

Wait, silly me .. i mean world class(less) mail centre? :Very Happy

Well we do know certain individuals (postal grades) are coming back to the job(will they be on the shop floor??) these people were told (allegedely)they would be taken care of when they were committing these criminal acts wether that was financial or better duties etc. we dont know ....what we do know is as stewie pointed out the wall of silence that has been put up,again if an investigation is on going then you would expect that...all of this will come out in the wash eventually so bide your time and we will all see this spread across the tabloids and hopefully the ONION will make a big deal of this.

on a seperate note, i have personally seen letters written by my dom, then posted to his home address from various boxes and po's around the area. They all have the rfid tags in, as you can see them when you hold them up to the light

Is this a normal thing for doms to be doing?? Or have i stumbled upon something??

heres hoping :Very Happy

reliably informed by Processing staff that it's been common practice in MC's for a long time , the letter to the MCM from the MC is the big one , the other one used to be dummy meter pouches , one PHG had to do 65 irregularity checks one night .
