(Managers tell the reporters that disputes with unions over working times and the size of postmen's rounds are causing continued disruptions to the service.)

Well the last "exposé" showed RM bosses as complete twats and yet nothing has changed. No doubt whatever this program comes up with, this too will change nothing :neutral:
Union what Union? Do we have a union?

Is it an outside company that makes it,on here there are one or two members that have emails that are from 'production' companies. :nervous
feck knows who they are though as it was a while ago.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Looking forward to it :Very Happy

You can bet it will put RM across in a bad light and you can also bet who deserves the blame for failings................
