Royal Mail Group: “Code of Business Standards”

Page 31 in the blue box - A manager always offers overtime to one of his employees first. This is showing favouritism and does not live up to the high standards of behaviour that we expect. This happens every week in my office same guys on the early IPS since we have gone to P & L not once has it been advertised or other staff has been asked.

who does your overtime book,and why is there no aggregate list.

[WHITEANT]

The po wont tolerate bullying HAHAHAHA

[masterblaster]

They got a nerve, preaching to me about integrity!

Still owed bonus from 5 years ago after a revision cut hours by 12%.
No bonus from 3 years ago because we didn't have a revision. (though we had one 5 years ago - see above)
Collegue shares. What laugh.
Another thing see we see creeping in is discplinary if you have an 'accident', dog bites etc, this encourages vistims not to report incidents, even though on the other hand, we are encouraged to report them.
This makes the companies record look good, and drives down possibilites of future claims, i.e you slipped on your back last month, didn't report it, now you find you have terrible back ache, and can't work.

This booklet went where the courier goes every week.

[flaminmoses]

talking of shares.

are they saying that if you hold shares in a competitor its a conflict of interest?

clearly states "payments" which could be seen to be dividends.


i dont btw but i have looked at one of the competition although the way postcomm could change their minds at any given moment its probably too risky.

this also needs to be clarified as many pension schemes could have some of your contributions invested in the competition.

Overtime book ???
If JM works in a delivery office like ours, it's all decided by who is the flavour of the month

The po wont tolerate bullying HAHAHAHA

Especially when it has lost TWO cases of it in the tribunal system and then promoted the two DOM's in question.

[Lee42]

It's just making sure we cant defend ourselves with the 'I didn't know' defence.

TBH most of our managers would fall foul of most of the rules much more so than us

Can they prove you actually recieved a copy, I havn't recieved anything.

Lost in the post.

Me too ...and Im my own posty!!!

LTB 800/12 - Royal Mail Group: “Code of Business Standards”

No. 800/2012
Ref: PTC/RE/dj/402
Date: 22 October 2012




TO ALL BRANCHES WITH ROYAL MAIL GROUP MEMBERS




Dear Colleague


RE: Royal Mail Group: “Code of Business Standards”



Royal Mail began issuing a booklet, entitled “Our Code: Code of Business Standards” to all employees last week.


This is not an agreed document but was the subject of consultation with the CWU. The document largely reiterates existing business policies. Where it refers to issues covered by collective agreements with the union, the terms of the collective agreement hold the field.


Any enquiries should be addressed to Ray Ellis’s department, quoting reference PTC/RE/dj/402.
Email address: rellis@cwu.org



Yours sincerely





Ray Ellis,

Assistant Secretary

You make a valid point. It is getting beyond the joking stage when our union remains so unresponsive to the situations we face on a daily basis in DO's at the hands of management dictators.
Yes we do have rights and it is high time the Union were being seen to be more supportive of their members by providing better guidance in highlighting where WE stand.
We get bombarded by management refering to their interpretation of certain PARTS of various agreements, but only the areas THEY wish to exploit in an effort to put more pressure and onus onto an already stressed workforce. It is constant never ending daily intimidation, and I cannot understand why our Union do not grasp the challenge and show some LEADERSHIP towards and in support of their members. Morale is sinking to ever lower depths as each day/week passes by.

i've only been working at RM since may 2011 and already i see how much the workers are undervalued and to be honest management just seem to find it funny to divulge personal
information about various post staff misdemeanors when in fact they should "by rights" be kept behind closed doors...but some of the language i've heard staff use toward other staff
when they arent about to hear them is shocking! and to top it all off i know i'm in for a bollocking tomorrow as my PDA fell out of my pocket whilst on collections in a remote rural area
and when i realised (about 100 yrds down the road) i doubled back to find it had gone! so i will now be in trouble for not having the power of precognition, to foresee my pda falling out my pocket, that by tomorrow the whole office will know before i even get the "ticking off" as it's explained in the "code of conduct" manual!

[IloveMYredTROLLEY!]

Why am I being send what is effectively a training refresher booklet to my home to read in my own time, when the the national standard of 30 minutes of Work Time Learning for every member of Royal Mail staff is close to non-existant (two since Jan 2012 in our depot)? A damn cheek, if you ask me!

[Lincox]

your doing well then. None since August 2011

[fishtank]

New one out that's updated to reflect our new private status and has new standards involving confidential information that might affect the share price.

We don't have an overtime book, just a list on the wall which gets pinned up after everyone has gone out delivering on a thursday.
Then just by coincidence all the govenors favourites are top of the list when you return.
Don't bother anymore with overtime but its nice when they are struggling and you tell him where are your favourites

[fly-catchers]

I had hoped it contained my "stamps". But once I realised what it was recycled it!!
