Union rep spying

Post by lillywhite »

Does anybody else find it wrong that today i saw the office manager and office union rep pulled into a side road spying on posties on delivery?
I expect it of the manager but a union rep!
Found out later that they had been doing today and yesterday and are gonna challenge people for taking too long.

Rep could be there to keep the manager in check and make sure he doesn't make up lies, don't jump to conclusions.

Wouldn't the rep say bollox and have a sit in?

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.

If anyone is to be monitored, they should be informed in advance, otherwise it's harassment. The trouble is, the rep is one of the harassers and, without the backing of the Union, the victim will have to take on the fight alone. Kick this rep out.

Thats what i first thought,till they made a joint announcement with the rep backing the managers every word like a sad lackey.This has come about since we voted out the revision and people have worked to their full hours,whereas they both think everyone should have time to sort when hey get back! Also i think a rep when asked to go spying should tell em to stick it,but thats just my opinion.
