Safety of Posties

Post by pink panther »

Hope both RM and the CWU take the trouble in London serious for the best concern of all our staff. Wouldn't fancy having to do a delivery or collection in some of the affected areas.

I am in London and I expect they will act as normal in the morning, the managers will tell us to take extra care and send us on our way. The night staff should not have to work in this and should go home.

RM are saying
The majority of mail services are operating today across the country, incluiding London.

In London and a small number of other areas affected by the disturbances, we are endeavouring to maintain normal mail services wherever possible. However, in the areas affected by the civil unrest, some road and police restrictions or damage to properties may limit our ability to access businesses and residential customers to deliver or collect mail today.
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

i bet managers still accuse hard working posties of willful delay if they cant get near the affected areas letterboxes.

It's kicking of big time round here ffs!
I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
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.

I staged a Roger Moore impersonator festival in my local village. There were a lot of eyebrows raised, I can tell you.

Heard at the office upon arrival that one of ours was smacked over the head with an iron bar on his way home :shock: :shock: :sad: :evil/mad ( I don't know where he lives, but apparently it's not within the district )
I don't suppose your mouth bleeds every 28 days, does it?

Mail delivery; those that can, do, those that can't, MANAGE!
