bags on shoulders

Post by badger66 »

Can someone Pleeeeeaaaasssee find a document regarding the light weight trolleys.We have had our revision in for 18 months and I cannot believe that we have weekly arguements with our line managers and DIM about people running around with a bag on their shoulder to get 3 hours overtime done in their duty time .We were under the impression that once the revision was in the tools that you were given for the job had to be used ie HCT ,LWT.
We were even told in this weeks team brief that we could carry pouches on our shoulder , where has this come from is this a new national agreement that we havent agreed to again? :arrrghhh

We have had our revision, nothing much has changed, private cars still used, and equipment provided not used. Its all down to job and finish, the quicker you go the earlier you get home or start overtime. Management just turn a blind eye to it all.

All Delivery Methods equipment will support the objectives of working safely, reducing fatigue and removing where possible weight off the shoulder.
Once assigned the use of equipment specified for the route will be mandatory.

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.
