Un-ballotted industrial action Wimbledon Delivery Office - SW13-SW15, SW19 & SW20

Staff have stopped work at Wimbledon Delivery Office today in connection with a local issue. Deliveries of all mail in the SW19 area have been affected. We are now utilising managers and others to deliver as many items as we can this afternoon. We will be making efforts to perform as many collections from business customers as we can today, however customers may wish to post mail at a local Post Office® or the Wimbledon Delivery Office at 12 Cranbrook Road, LONDON, SW19 4BB. The enquiry office at Wimbledon remains open for customers to collect items where we have previously left a ‘Something for you’ card.

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.

We are now utilising managers
Since when?
Is this because we're new and shiny privatised,next thing you know they'll be fully utilising managers...or is that taking it too far?

Two drivers from Wimbledon one with 18 years another with over 20 years were sacked today for allegedly leaving two packets on the drivers seat in a LOCKED van. FACT! All of south London could follow if this decision is not overturned. I truly hope common sense prevails.

2nd office in less than a week. As many of us predicted this will be happening more and more in delivery offices as we are on the brink with horrendous management & workload. Dave and billy should be paying close attention when negotiating delivery issues! hope these boys get their jobs back.

Do the Management really expect nothing to happen when there is a clear miscarriage of justice, if the fact as stated a locked van parcel in front seat, officially packet should be in the back to be taken out one by one, however the reaction of the Managment is a bit extreme and very stupid to sack them provoking the reaction you would get. even more case for doing the job exactly by the book.

Hope these guys get their job back, it will be a nightmare for them especially just before Christmas.

Not true,not now anyway.
You know that thing with the bundle in the front that keeps changing.
It changed again. :cuppa
• Secure the MB44 pouch to the front passenger seat and ensure the pouch flap remains closed at all times when the vehicle is moving Only leave an MB44 pouch containing mail in the cab of an unattended vehicle for NO longer than 10 minutes. Every effort should be made to make this occurrence an exception and not the norm
:shock:
