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.

well my scenario is a bit unique
I was returning from dismissal and winning appeal
during the 3 months of being away,my licence expeired
So on return I informed them of this and I wouldnt be driving from then on.
I got bitched around duties for a few weeks,cutting off every day(told them i wouldnt be working over)
They eventually 'created' a non driving floating duty.
I say created as it appeared to already exist but wasnt staffed.
Its a bone of contention often raised and threats were made about moving me to other offices etc
my answer was I can work to my time in any office
TBH from reports of guys who do go to other offices. the duties are usually easier than ours anyway.

Word is 2m peeps haven't renewed their photo license now that the 10 years is up,has to be a certain percentage of them in RM.
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.

And the DOM would be required to remove them from driving duties until they get it and you have to remember that licence checks are every 6 months :nervous :chuckle
