We had 2.
1 was.
1 wasn't.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

`it's not that we don't believe that your illness was genuine,it's just that you fell foul of RM 's standard for attendance as AGREED with your union blah blah blah". :no no
Royal Mail managers.....about as popular as a t.urd in a swimming pool!
The DDA/Equality Act demands action,NOT words......adjustments NOT Occupational Health referrals.Case No:2505901/09
Royal Mail is an Equal Opportunities Employer..It discriminates against everybody.

I had to take 3 days off due to Swine Flu, could'nt take anymore as I was on a Stage 2 at the time. Just looked at my sick record and its been marked down as 'Flu Like Symptoms'. It was registered with my GP as Swine Flu and I had the medication.
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

Mines the same , flu like symptoms but in the return to work interview , i said it was swine flu . To be honest I didn't think it was important until now , I can't remember rm policy it seems to be unclear with the posts to this subject , I vaguely remember the government telling people who had to stay off work , school etc if that was the case surely those absences shouldn't count on anybody's attendance record .

Of course you worked through it mazza, it was only like man flu and only men go off with man flu, everybody knows that..............of course there are women complaints that we don't get and so can't use them as an excuse for a lazy day. :chuckle
