Courier mag is a joke.

The courier mag is one of the biggest pile of b u l l s h i t ive ever seen...
The pictures are hilarious, and wording complete nonesense...

Page 7 makes me laugh with a picture of a postie with a couple of letters a few d2d half a bag of mail,, which he should not have because you are supposed to be using a trolley or hct truck to carry the weight.....

The courier needs to print the real pictures of delivery,,, its 20 times more work load than this bloke is carrying...

There is also a picture of sue whalley, wanting increased work loads,,, really...

Page 9 your rewards,,, saying my pay is a reward,, what c r a p...

Should write being forced to bust my back side off every day for hard earned money..

Serious staff shortages, loads on the sick with health problems due to undelivable work loads, overtime not being paid, constant bullying from managers and managers now saying lapsing is apart off your duty and have to deliver it...

Delivery is seriously heading for destruction

Also a great back page all about Valentines Day?Surely as this was a February edition it should have been delivered last month.

I've just been looking at that thing about rewards, reading it, it says time to choose, seems to me, they are trying to sell me stuff. Pass, I just want the pay thanks and a pension at the end of it, that we pay for.

Dont forget, mail volumes are down and we're underworked.

The letters page is always good source of annoyance.

Whenever anyone from delivery makes a good suggestion it gets shot down in flames and any mention of how cr@p the uniform is gets the standard reply of its the best there is and has been fully tested.
It just goes to show how out of touch these people are with what the real job involves.
Never mind I see that the callers office may start selling carrier bags soon, that'll save us.

Well done to the manager from Brighton who sees the "carrier bag tax" as a way to raise revenue!!! No you twonk, it is to discourage people from using bags.

Not only that, but having to drive to town and pay to park I expect being offered a 5p bag could produce interesting reactions.

If this RM propaganda annoys you then write to the address inside and tell you don't want it anymore. I got it stopped around 15 years ago and feel the better for it! If on the other hand loo paper is in short supply in your house..........

What about the postie who had a collection from Hermes and was handed a barcode stickered card, now he suggests RM could do the same thing.

Was surprised to read RM are already trialling it in Manchester and Warrington areas, customers have to be registered.

Well why not, we don't have anything better to do with our time

As for using the Courier as toilet paper, i find its a tad shiny and tends to slip.

I am sure half these 'letter writers' are shills.
They all seem to have the same submissive, grovelling goody-two-shoes tone.

Even TASS was more believable back in the 1980's.

LOL - or The BBC, 2016

But yes - I don't know where they drag these people up from. They're like the kids that take the teacher an apple.

Yep. I put a kill off sticker on my Courior and filled it in as REFUSED and they sent me a letter asking why I didn't want it with a SAE. I said it was properganda and out of touch with reality and they stopped sending it to me

DELIVERING THE FUTURE without a word about the future well that's a surprise more headlines yet no news maybe they don't think we have all heard it already or they just might keep the CWU in the dark for a few week's more.

Stretching it a bit there, but at least you never mentioned Socialist Worker, Pravda or any of that Noam Chomsky drivel......

The carrier bag charge is supposed to go to charity
