Moved to union room forum.

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.

Don't worry as the union has won you 6 months with full pay.,and we have a great sick payment scheme. :roll: :cuppa
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.

See your rep,get the area rep involved,5 in 6 is a f***ing pisstake.
If you stay off for a few weeks while you get better you will only get a stage 1.
If you have to have an op at a later day it is corrective surgery and you could argue that if the s**t heads try to give you a stage 2.

Also ask to be referred to ATOS,you have a better chance with them on board.

its the system. if you dont go back the absense will be just 1 and will only put you on stage 1 if your not on a stage already. the general would rather we were on statuary sick pay where you you get nought for 3 days then get about 70 quid a week there after. but the unions s**t after all.

No point going back too early especially if even light duties are a problem

Unless they have a nice sofa for you to rest your shoulder against
