lapsing

[sickofthejob]

Can a manager ask you to leave mailsort and mech mail on your own walk, in order for you to lapse another?

[IcanthelpthewayIam]

No that's called streaming mail and its not allowed tell your rep or even email moya that will soon get it stopped

[pod25]

Its also failing the USO.

[sickofthejob]

The manager said it was because he had absolutely no bodies to cover it and local rep agreed, as long as nobody went over.

They come up with any excuse to get you lapsing on our office.

"If mail hasn't been prepped it can be left as it's not live mail"

"Leave (insert any mail type here) if it means you can't lapse"

Why are we not getting a clear message from CWU HQ on this matter, while all depots are either undergoing or about to undergo an "efficiency savings" revision?

Dear Colleagues,

During the recent ADR briefings the subject of ‘Streaming or Skimming’ of mail was raised by a number of reps and subsequently raised by me at the NDG. Royal Mail’s response was that they were unaware of it and it was only anecdotal, they needed firmer ‘evidence’. Therefore could reps please supply the dept via email with any instances where this has occurred or is occurring, naming the office and the manager of the office and how frequently this has occurred, and how the streaming actually occurs. In some cases the decision of what not to deliver has been left to OPGs which in itself is unacceptable. In other instances it forms part of absorption/lapsing where an OPG is taken off a delivery to allow others to absorb the delivery by only delivering the 1c and leaving everything else in the frame.



Your urgent attention and response to this request would be greatly appreciated.


Please send your replies to bgibson@cwu.org no later than Thursday 11th November 2010. POSTMAN EDIT:IGNORE DATES:KEEP SENDING!



Thanks

I appreciate that, but is the 2010 letter the last time the CWU mentioned it?

[martygee]

You do your duty first, then if you have time left, you do the lapsing. if you haven't got time, its the DOM's problem not yours.

[BingBong]

Take photos. Send them to moya. Job done.

Or not. Nothing seems to change after emailing.
