GRS wrote:When they declare ‘mails down’ they always seem to communicate it in such an accusing way to us postmen as if we are in some way to blame. That must then surely be the case all the way up the food chain to the top. It is impossible for us to have less to do and not anybody else in the company and yet does anyone else keep getting more and more chucked at them under the guise of ‘mails down so to keep full time jobs you need to be more efficient and do more’. w*****s have kept peddling the same boring myth for so long that from the top of the tree right down to DOM level they have brain washed themselves into believing it and yet we are supposed to be the thick ones.
Could'nt agree more with you "GRS" same s**t ....different year, honestly dont know how they managed to get the figures
for letters at Christmas going by the amount of cards that are still going through our MC despite having been posted in the
early weeks of December, then add in the amount of mail that passed through the system without the stamps being cancelled
beats me how they have figures so quickly, could it be that we are being told porkies....surely not , RM wouldn't do such a thing .......would they. :so there

The average person does not post one letter a month now but over Xmas maybe 12 cards or more don't that make up the shortfall over the year of 5 per cent down?.

Is it not clear as day that DSA is not counted for if it was when TNT POST collapsed by paying 16 year old kids for the lowest wage they could and still could not make it work where did all that work go? The revenue stayed with TNT but it the work came to us but the figures say otherwise because work is nothing without being paid for it! It is only a guessing game when Royal Mail will become the next Carillon and as it stands the whole board and CEO will get away with theft of pensions and destroying a once great public service to feather their own nests at the detriment of the workers and the public as well!
