How many posties not come in to work recently ?

4 down out of 25 at our place. Would be more obviously but no pay means people will have to work.

You will be paid if off sick. What is this?

Self isolating due to member of family with underlying health issues and told by DOM that not being paid but can use annual leave instead.

I have more confidence of them coming up with an actual cure tomorrow (riding in with it on unicorns) than I do of the government paying people for their lost time.

21 year old with no underlying conditions has died. How essential is our work again?

That isn't true.
Did anyone question the DOM?

Just been contacted by my Dom and anybody off on self isolation must either come back to work or only get paid SSP from now on, apparently to many people now off. Personally I think that apart from the Health service we are having more indirect contact with the public than anybody else with more or less no protection and until some poor postie catches it and either dies or kills their vulnerable partner/sibling/parent nothing will be done.

So do you get paid? Even if you don't have symptoms of Coronavirus? Can someone paraphrase
