This doesnt surprise me in the slightest. A couple of months back I stopped two members of the public who had walked the length of our delivery office.As i was explaining to them they had walked through a restricted area I noticed five managers in that length who they had walked passed.

More bad publicity.

For his health and safety briefing, he was shown where the fire door was and told: "Be careful you don’t get trampled by me on your way out if there is a fire."

That's hardly worth mentioning. It's no more than the sort of joke remark you hear a dozen times a day.
As for the rest of it, it's bad, but this journo could have made matters far worse for the people working in these places by highlighting the situation to the local criminal fraternity.
The Industrial Workers of the World. The union whose members never scab!

how many offices let public or business persons into our offices unchallenged to pick up their
mail.have reported this problem over a year ago it stopped , but now seems to have been allowed to continue.
saves managers looking for their mail as it probably has,nt even been sorted.these people are allowed to wander about quite freely managment dont give a damn.

You can bet, the GMC will be a lot more alert when it comes to security...... at least for a while....

The Mail Centre manager should be sacked - or given a promotion - for bringing the RM into disrepute!

Copy of the article made. It shall be distributed.
It made teletext, but was hard to find on the internet, this morning. Wonder why?

Within minutes, he was set to work sorting mail in the huge building.

In envelopes, he could feel what were unmistakably credit or bank cards.

He finally left after 90 minutes – and no one asked where he was going.





The main companies who supply workers are Manpower UK and Reed recruitment.
He managed to find something other than junk mail and it only took him 90 minutes!
We have a lot of part-timers come in, see what they have to deliver and leave!

Anyone see crimewatch last night? A bloke gained entry to a house wearing an RM coat. They should never have issued any RM gear to agency workers and in my opinion you should have to hand back your old uniform as and when it needs replacing. This stuff falls into the wrong hands and s**t like this happens.
