BBC1 Breakfast News carried a highly positive story from Stockport delivery officer
What the article fails to mention is there was someone else there,i think from Ofcom,not 100% on that but in 'his' interview,whoever the feck he was he pointed out that before and after privatisation thousands of jobs will go and our t&c's will needed to be looked at as well.

And there's complaints about the competition 'cherry picking'.

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.

Just been on News24 as well well the Royal Mail bit, best thing was all the red/blue shirts looked really busy and well employed, but one "bod" seemed to walking round in circles in the background, not certain but I think he was wearing a primark suit - quite funny actually - if it comes on again look in the background as the pan away from the IPS frame. :left: :left: :left:

Maybe he was an `extra`.
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.

Was my day off today so I caught it this morning... got to say it didn't look anything like our office, no sign of the 2-3 pkt bags piled up against every frame or the usual 5 trays of mail and 4 or 5 boxes of D2D's stacked up waiting to be thrown in.

Was very interesting all this on BBC breakfast this morning all directors and (postal consultants) never seen a worker speaking I doubt it is all rosy and cosy in there the thing is RM have us all under their thumb in one way or another!. It will be interesting to see if all is as rosy in two week's time for this is the proof in the pudding royal mail might just find more than a penny or 2 to choke on!.

Got it,no vid though...

David Stubbs, an independent postal expert. wrote: "We're still a couple of years behind on the plans for privatisation," Mr Stubbs says. "The chief executive is still talking about possibly next year, but it may slip until after the next election."

Anyone buying Royal Mail would probably aim to cut cost further, so between 20,000 and 30,000 jobs might be lost, along with further moves from full-time to part-time employment.

But Mr Stubbs says that although the Royal Mail is able to stand on its own two feet at the moment, to attract bidders it needs to be making more money than the £23m it made in the last financial year.
