toilet needs

Post by hampshireman »

Might sound daft.... but... was told a couple of days ago (by the DOM -Acting) that come the revision then people on IPS (up to 90 mins) would not be allowed to go to the toilet. As it was reasonable that they could 'hold it'

Laugh or cry?

Apart from the obvious H&S considerations,the possible equality and sex discrimination issues the ability to go to the toilet when you need to has been custom in Royal Mail way past long enough to be considered an implied term of your contract of employment.
Any attempt to change this should be met with a disagreement and a quick phone call to your branch.

This is so ludicrous that it defies belief, why are you not informing your local TV and newspapers. Here is an ideal chance to highlight the type of managers that are ruining this business. You have been handed a golden chance to do somerthing about it.

Dont worry we have been told if you want a coffee or the toilet then you have to turn up early for work !!! Surely stopping you using the toilet is against human rights?

I mentioned all this last year, as we have already went through the revision.
RM are affectively doing away with the 10 minute grace break and nobody is fighting it.

WHY?
