Will the threat of fines from ofcom influence RM

[postality]

RM threatend with fines from ofcom the other day, will this and threat of IA put the CWU in a better position to get a decent deal.

Surely if stamped mail is dropping as fast as RM's spin says it is then delivering the paltry amount on time shouldnt be a problem?

Shareholders must be fuming.

The obvious answer to Royal Mail failing to reach it's delivery targets is to change those delivery targets.

How much of what we deliver is actually time sensitive to the point where it needs to be delivered next day?

[postality]

But the threat of fines is real, and cash is king in a privately owned business.

The targets are there to be hit regardless of wether you or i think the items should be there next day.

Customer pays for service, service expected.

Interestingly i had to wait 10 days for a 1st class important legal letter recently..

I was a bit pissed off tbh.

If you start a company delivering letters to certain areas (TNT) you only have to deliver 3 days a week and,you can call your workers when their time is up to return to the office with any undelivered mail!

But are they NOT under obligation of the USO?
So that is up to them. We are under that obligation and the union im sure want us to continue to be..let's not say why can't we be like TNT let's say they should be more like us.

If it had a date stamp check it because it's highly unlikely the delay was Royal Mails fault.

Im constantly trying to defend ourselves while on delivery explaining to recipitents that the firm probably hasnt even sent the letter yet and they always blame posties first...but when your the one waiting you can understand their frustration

As long as senior management get their bonus and the board get their remuneration and we the humble postie pay for it through unpaid hours who gives a f**k!

We have a winner! ^^^^^^

RM will agree a new set of targets with OFCOM - "bringing the regulatory requirements into line with today's customers' needs" or something
