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.

At my DO there were managers doing good impressions of this Image.

But the actual walk was like an old Saturday - left office at 830 finished for 1140 which is good for me.

Wonder what tomorrow will bring.

The misort run driver reported 5 or 6 gaffers on the floor of birmingham mail centre. Loads of bulk mailsort 2 and 3 today. I think RM must have emptied the NDC. Shame the top table of the CWU got the 7.5 tonne drivers strike wrong. We'd have had nothing to sort or deliver today. Lets see wha happens next week. Oh yeah, got fecking soaked too.

:dance MY OFFICE HAD A 'GOOD OLD DAY' ! I HAD ONE BAG AND A BIT, INSTEAD OF AT LEAST 5 ON A 'NORMAL' THURSDAY. WE DIDNT HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE MISSORT RUN AND EVERYONE WAS HOME BY 1030/45 (WE START AT 0445). THE CANFORD HEATH MAIL CENTRE HAD JUST MANAGERS DOING A NIGHT - THEY MANAGED TO CHURN OUT (APPROX) 2/3 CODED BUNDLES AND A FEW PACKETS.
ME? WELL I WAS TRAINING ONE OF THESE POOR 20/25 HOUR WEEKS, DELIVERY ONLY, CONTRACTED RM STAFF - THEY REALLY MUST BE DESPERATE FOR WORK! - SO I HAD TO WAIT FOR HIM TO ENTER THE BUILDING (0800), OTHERWISE, A GREAT DAY. AND LOOKING FORWARD TO TOMORROW!

BRING IT ON!!!!

FIGHT OR DIE!!!

Two Weeks of Postal Strikes Has Begun

Two weeks of postal strikes began with night shift Mail Centre workers across the UK last night.

Strike action again is being strongly supported with over 98% of Mail Centre workers across the UK taking part in strike action.

Dave Ward, Deputy General Secretary said “Over 98% of mail centre workers have been on strike since last night - this again shows the continuing level of determination by postal workers to get management to return to negotiations and stop attacking their jobs, pay, pensions, terms and conditions.â€
