Crown offices ?

given the staffing levels quoted for the Olympic sunday opening this should make interesting reading and the effect on the bottom line!

Yes crown offices and if there are no volunteers they will staff it from other offices just think how close your nearest office is ours is a good hour away.

At the Vision event I went to, they clearly said that letters would be going out this week. I am not sure now if they were just talking about the managers or if this included phase 2 of the CWU grades.

Crown Focus on Friday said that 203 managers had applied for EVR and that "just under half" will be offered EVR.

I didn't go to the event, but the 'lucky' person who did from my office said that Andy Furey stood up and said that the CWU members should 'work harder'!
As I wasn't there, I can't say in what context the comment was used but if our 'leader' really does think that, what chance do we stand? :sad:

Not delayed, just not coming... The number of VR offers for people in the 'phase 2' branches is very low. Our local CWU rep says that only 11 redundancy offers will be made nationally across the 184 branches in phase 2.

Any shortage is born by Post Office LTD, but excessive losses are subject to disciplinary action, including possible loss of employment.
