This week has seen a more effective "Do Your Job Properly" at our office as more and more people start on time, stop rushing around and adopt a different approach to cars/breaks.

We still have plenty who are killing the job by their short sighted selfishness.

Thankfully management have not been provoking workers (in our office) but the back log is growing larger and larger by the day. The more people do the job properly, the more it shows Royal Mail took our good will for granted.

The danger would be if people slip back into using cars and not taking proper breaks. Royal Mail would love this to happen ASAP. We need to encorage everyone to protect jobs by doing THEIR job properly without short cuts.

managers are virtually forcing us to do our jobs properly by enforcing meal relief and not letting us out until 9.55. they are also making us work until 1.55 pm. so there is no incentive to clear. most frames now nearly invisible under stacks of mail.

Any others had this notice or is it the DOMs idea of cleverness?

Tell your manager that your car is your own not Royal Mails and if you don't want to use it then you dont have to You do not have to tell them if you don't want to use it but you need to tell them you need a bike or a mini bus to take you out to yourfirst point of delivery Ex union rep

However we have a person who i call a untouchable
He went in on every strike day and wearing a smirk.
He is not in the union but had the nerve to sit with us at a union meeting on wednesday.
The only problem is, he will come in at 4.20, sort out the met bundles, throw his walk out, and then probably 10 to 5am start throwing out our section's mail.
When it does come to time to do the ips, he hogs the mail, the rest of us didn t get a look in, and he goes and throws his walk out while the rest of us are stood round as he as done all the ips.
has any one got any ideas to help the situation
thanks

What about kicking him in the nuts a few times

Others have already made excuses as to why they should carry on using their cars (yes, the docket bashers!).

Don't worry about them because when there is no docket (Which is why they have bought the later start in ) THEY MAY OPEN THERE STUPID EYES and do there job properly

Got in this morning.
By 10am, left 1 bag in.
Got onto my walk at 10.45am, saw the van driver at 1pm, and he took back the last bag drop.
Its a pity only 3 of my section are doing the job properly everyone else is running around like their lifes depended on it!

While alot are NOT doing their job properly (or think it's only related to the industrial action), still a good number of walkers and drivers ARE doing their job properly now in our office.

It has been good sitting in the canteen with the majority of the division I'm on sat beside me.

Oh yeah and we can hardly move in the office cos of the back log.............

Get the bus to work, i know its a hassle byut it will be funny

then after your first day bk, park your car right outside your office, an when ur dim ask your why u not using your car, take him outside an tell him your car enjoys the view then walk off an leave him, stuoid i know but i bet they never ask you why ur not using your car again

WE are the union
