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

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.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

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

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.

Yes as far as we know,Uncle Bob will no doubt copy/paste a new one if he gets enough peeps informing him.
