Well that doesn't make sense and it's something i've thought about for a while,what with the CWU dog campaign thing.easter bunny wrote:viking wrote:I was bitten quite badly by an alsatian dog whilst on delivery and was unable to use my arm for several days and had a week off work. RM did nothing to help me in putting in a claim against the owner, but the cwu union did fight my corner. It took us nearly 3 years to get a payment and an admittance by the owner that it was her dog!! As soon as RM found out that i had been given a small amount of compensastion money they asked for a return of the weeks money which they had paid me when i was off work. Typical...didnt want to know when i needed them
To be fair to the RM it is not their job to help you with any claim against the owner..You could have gone down the route in that the dog was already a menace and any previous incidents (if there were any ) were not recorded in the walk log (like any incident should be )...Therefore it could be claimed that the RM were negilgent...
If i am on duty and i get attacked by a dog and lets say it was a 1st offence for the dog and it's not in the walk log ect as a problem address,then if i'm not a member of the CWU then i'm basically screwed.
I work for RM and i have been attacked on duty then surely RM have to help me get compo.Especially as they claim lost wages back!
There is no RM anti dog campaign thing is there.
