compensation claims

Post by frankieboy »

Does anyone feel the same as myself and that probably in the next 10 to 15 years or more the flood gates will open to all posties to claim compo from royal mail, its a classic situation ( ie miners knee, vibration white finger etc). Employees with back, knee, shoulder, neck and ankle injuries to start with. People with mental health problems due to stress, bullying and threats. Posties with skin cancer having to work through the hottest parts of the day during the summer, if anyone can thing of anymore please add them on.
Gonna do a bit more legal research into this but i,m sure Royal Mail are heading for a big big fall, i maybe wrong but working for RM is like working in a cotton mill in the 1800,s where the bosses had no regards to employees safety or well being just so long as the jobs done.

We'd have been long sold off by then, maybe even on the 2nd or 3rd owners....would there still be anyone to accept culpability, or would it just be like a 20 year game of "Pass the Buck" :hmmmm

Agreed, the money to pay compo claims will have gone the same place the Mirror Pension ended up
