Does anyone know when we will receive our free stamps, I’ve got a letter to post and don’t want to pay out for stamps if they are on the way!

Let's assume we're not getting the stamps,personally I can take or leave them ,so does that mean they are also not sending a Christmas card to the staff who they say are so valued?

If they stop the stamps, it'd be an admission that they believe a strike is inevitable after Xmas.
It's only a few stamps, a gesture of thanks & an acknowledgement for a years hard graft, but if they pull the plug they are basically saying 'f**k you' to each and every one of us, and hopefully turning a lot of fence-sitters into picket-liners when they realise the level of contempt the company has for them.
Maybe they're delayed in the post, unlikely though since letter volumes are down! :Very Happy

I would imagine the stamps and the Xmas bonus will be used as a carrot to try and prevent us from striking before xmas! :hmmmm
Union what Union? Do we have a union?

Here is the answer asking Moya`s mate

Just wondering
will we be getting our lovely
Christmas or Holiday cards (to be politically correct) and stamps this year ?
Or is it yet another cutback to pay the major shareholders
Thank you in advance


No cutbacks – colleagues will receive stamps this year. A formal communication will go out this week confirming the date they are to be sent
Kind regards
