Crewe sackings

Post by NWpostie »

Heard a postie has been sacked for bringing mail back from his delivery as he couldn't complete, this is apparently now under appeal, any truth in this ? If I was a Crewe rep I would be balloting for industrial action and walk out by now.

heard quite a few are off sick as well.

Sounds like Manager are doing the B&H route if true :no no it would only be counter productive.

Well they can't just be sacked,they would have to be suspended 1st then go through the conduct code.That takes time.

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.

Unless the supervisor/manager went quickly through the conduct code in order to get him dismissed, not the first time a manager did so.

Which is why many appeals do succeed on that basis.

I know of one postman who has been sacked at Crewe .the reason I belive was for leaving mail in his frame and not telling a manager.
This when the office was in a mess from the P&L revision......

I know for a fact that in Crewe they are suspending people if they are unable to complete their deliveries.

They want them all to do 2 hours overtime every day so the job gets done,The poor people who need to finish on time and bring mail back are being suspended.

Also 2 months ago a young girl who was being pressured into completing the job every day,Finishing at 6pm etc slit her own wrists,She never died thankfully,Her parents were speaking to solicitors regarding Royal mail,Not sure what is happening regarding that.

Crewe is in a mess,The managers dont need sacking,They need putting in stocks and stoning.

i sincerely hope this is just hear say, but if it is true then then along with everything else going on in crewe the CWU should have had as many members at the gate as possible.

there are employment laws within both the UK and EU that are supposed to protect.

something is very very wrong.

I think she threatened to slit her wrists,but still shows how much pressure she was under.

A couple of days before this ,the DOM swopped her onto a walk she had not done before and put the postie off that walk onto hers ,and he had never done that one.
That make sense ............
