Community, the recognised trade union at Whistl, says its members are 'extremely worried for their futures' as almost 2,000 employees at the UK's second biggest postal services provider have been suspended pending a review of the future of the company's end-to-end delivery business.
Les Bayliss, National Officer at Community said:
"Understandably, our members are extremely concerned and worried for their futures. Community has a meeting of our senior reps tomorrow where we will begin to develop our response to the company's consultation. We will be doing all we can to identify a viable way forward for the business that safeguards our members' jobs. We should be clear that this is a suspension of the business not a termination of it, so we will be looking for the company to work with us to identify sustainable options to continue operations as soon as practically possible.
"Meetings will be taking place through the week with our local reps in the end-to-end areas of the business as we seek to listen to members concerns and begin to identify alternatives."
"We understand the consultation was triggered by the decision of LDC not to fund a further rollout of the end-to-end business but we're also aware of the challenges faced by the business because of the continuing costs dictated by Royal Mail, which affect the sector as a whole."

Community Union response to Whistl End-to-End suspension
I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
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.

Re: Community Union response to Whistl End-to-End suspension
Welcome to the real world, Mr Bayliss! Did anyone truly think Royal Mail would roll over and let its competitors have an easy ride? Neither is it in the interest of Royal Mail's workforce to join the 'race to the bottom'!

They want competition, but only by cherry picking the most profitable urban areas, but competition means competitors charging what they deem appropriate, so how couldn't Royal Mail NOT dictate what they charge the DSA parasites ?
