We even considered safety issues like the impact of a person’s height on the jobs they were involved in.
Or is it a short thing?

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.

It's a man thing.
Why do you lot always need to see who is the biggest?

Subject: Tall and short colleagues and seniority

Branch Secretaries
Area Delivery Representatives
Divisional Representatives


Dear Colleagues,

Please find attached a note from Bob Gibson, CWU Assistant Secretary, concerning Tall and short colleagues and seniority.

Please can ADRs bring this to the attention of all local reps.

Thanks.

Hayley Nutley
Secretary to Bob Gibson
Outdoor Postal Dept
CWU HQ

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From: Bobby Gibson [mailto:BGibson@cwu.org]

Tall and short colleagues and seniority

It has been brought to the attention of the Outdoor Dept that Royal Mail managers are attempting to use an unagreed job resourcing tool to measure the height of individuals to allocate duties. They are stating that this tool/approach has been agreed with the CWU which is completely untrue.

Our understanding is that they are extracting information from a Bronze status mail centre WCM initiative.

This will have serious implications on our members,and in no way should our members get involved with short arses getting the best duties,or the lanky lot the same.

Branches and Representatives should make it clear to managers that we will not participate in the unagreed process and register disagreement where necessary.

This should then be raised in the first instance with CWU Divisional representatives ASAP and subsequently with the Outdoor Dept if the problem is not resolved at Divisional level.
