A work place coach is NOT a grass
Workplace coaches are a joint C.W.U. /Royal Mail agreement in the training of new entrants and where needed current staff
Is it wrong to tell a colleague they are sorting a letter the wrong way round?
What i do think is wrong is people doing feck all on Inward Primary sorting and other people doing theres for them,managers should be sorting this out but take the easy option of spreading the work around the office
Our coach is a good guy - just had an influx of 8 new staff over the last few weeks and only lost one - got them all up to scratch and showed them the proper way to do things, although he hasn't managed to persuade them all not to use cars - has set a good example by being on the picket and is definitely not a management stooge. Ps - He is also IMHO a good coach and weaves a lot of personal experience in with the normal rules and regulations.
I was under the impression that all new entrants are part time only so shouldn't need much training as they are only required to do the actual delivery, no prepping etc.

Our new ones are doing a bit of everything and are certainly not coming in to a "ready to deliver" duty, although it does piss the full timers off when they have part or almost prepped a walk for them and then the part timer gets out before the guy who helped them. Other than that they are a decent bunch and one even brings his dog to picket with us.

Just like the casuals that we have seen in recent weeks they just come in for the delivery, but who shows the casuals what to do because our coach doesn't train them.Now that new entrants are part time coaches seem a waste of time and money.
