Yeah the latest one is to take a picture of a stool(no not the turd variety there's enough of them about already) tucked under the frame..inside a white box drawn on the floor...amazing. :roll:
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.

ive asked about this a few times on here now without success, maybe you can advise fish?. i thought the union had dropped wcm like a hot tattie, and were not having anything more to do with it, yet it keeps popping up on here and in their rag mag. and only today at a wtll they were gobbing on about it again. i challenged the dom and he said he'd never heard about it being dropped and as far as he was concerned it was still a major part of their plans? is it back on? hope not.

There is not, or should not be, any union involvement.
Why would RM care if the union wants to involve itself or not?
They believe in this continuous improvement nonsense and they will carry on with it regardless.

And in all honesty who wouldn't want to see zero accidents on delivery.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

No personal effects? Fair enough. Tell them that your fleece isn't a personal effect, its a work uniform, they gave you it.

This is typical of the Higson/Greene management regime - absolute pettiness running rife through D.O's. It is clear from on here and other online places that "anything left on or by the frame is to be punished" is a National policy for Royal Mail. It's infantile. "All you need is love" eh?....

And they wonder why the workforce are fired up to take industrial action. It is pettiness such as this which fans the flames....

Ask him for a locker to store your personal affects and to get a life.

:sad: A few years ago, and this is true, we got warning letters if we left elastic bands on our frame. Who was to say somebody else put them there after you left? It was only after it was pointed outt hat in Scotland it was illegal to send threatening letters, that it was stopped.
