DOM says GSM devices to be fitted into royal mail vans?

I makes me laugh that the driver then has two minutes to ring the office and say they are alright. At the best of times, it takes ages to get through on the phone so what will happen then! Personally, I can not see them installing the panic buttons but I can see them installing the GPS as a target for more savings!

THAT MITE AS WELL GIVE US POSTIE'S ONE WE f***ing CARRY EVERYTHING ELSE. THE BEST PLACE TO FIT ONE ON THE MANAGER'S WOULD BE A COFFEE CUP. IT NEVER LEAVES THIER HANDS.

For Delivery walkers there is a new system starting when the new routes come in, you are put on the scales on Monday morning first thing and again on Friday at close of play - if you've put any weight on your either sacked, suspended or more work put on the delivery according to the increase in weight.

The tracking devices go live at Cambridge DO on 1st October. Who will be the first to set off the panic button by mistake? At this office there are two obvious candidates (brothers) who are both as idiotic as each other. It will be one of them.

sorry its true all new vans will come with tracking eqpt on board and the old ones will be retrofitted,as for del staff have you seen the new scanners,do you know how they work?

More importantly how far can they be dropped before they stop working - just want to make sure I do not put it too high on my frame

Magnet, big f**k off magnet.

Cant believe the CWU is letting them do this, surely its against your human rights, RM are telling us theres no more money and yet they buy plasma TVs for every office and tracking systems for vans, last December i asked uniform for a pair of waterproof leggings, and was told only high vis jackets and safety boots could be ordered until end of January, only at RM can this crap happen, save pennys and waste pounds...UNITY IS STRENGTH.

WHAT THE F**K NEXT------ A F*****G CAMERA ON OUR FOREHEADS WATCHING WERE WE ARE F*****G GOING.

CAREFUL RM, YOU MIGHT THINK YOUR SMART---------BUT YOUR NOT!!!!
