getting mp's involved

Post by mailman71 »

with almost every office with the park and loop deliveries falling badly and some of the public are'nt getting their mail surely the mp's have to be told whats happening,everybody knows that these revisions are a joke so instead of letting of steam here better getting the people involved who can ask the questions directly to royal fail.

Be careful what you say to anybody.
Royal Mail are still your employer and there is such a thing as commercial confidentiality.
Make sure there is zero comeback.

I'm sure mps already know that RM is a complete shambles already. Why they want it privatised.

But you can argue public interest, and if they tried to take action against you for what is effectively trying to defend the service the local press and for that matter the MP involved could have a field day with RM.

And as for the service being a shambles, it is the restructuring and "modernisation" that is being done to reshape the company so it can be privatised that is doing all the damage!

Unfortunately it is all EU-led, and the govt and MPs are just slaves to the EUSSR.

That's the problem , I want to bring it to the attension of MP'S , the press , Postcomm and the general public but all they will see is that RM needs to be privatised . We are stuck between a rock and a hard place and in a lose , lose situation . Until people see that RM is a service and not something that's there to make millions in profits we are doomed , totally doomed .

They certainly can't sack you for it if what you've said is deemed to be in the public intrest.

Public interest is a weak defence against the confidentiality clause in your contract. :neutral:

its also depends whether it interests the Public or is in the Public Interest - and how your actions are seen at a later date maybe in a court of law and after the fact. React in haste repent at leisure as they say.

Just as an example and a weak one at that which side would non delivery of D2Ds fall on probably not in the Public's Interest, but packets might. Its a minefield.

What about during the strikes and the interviews on the picket line,lots of naughty stuff said there.No come back either.

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.
