Manchester mail center is a joke

Post by Grumpypostie »

Social distancing... joke
Hand sanitizer.... joke
Paper towels in toilets... joke
PPE whats that... joke...
Get tracked mail out.. not a joke managers running around..
Get parcels sorted and dispatched... not a joke...
Managers are more concerned about productivity and movement of work..
Absolutly impossible to follow goverment social distancing regarding coronavirus.
People going off sick with possible symptoms and surrounding staff not being told to isolate to.
Cwu have put proposals in thats great but it needs something doing today not tomorrow.

My gut feeling is that it'll probably be the same in every MC and DO. I'd imagine that RDCs will probably be more spaced out so will have the room for the proper 2m distance between people

Exactly right.

We've had 4 people on a conveyor, people returning from isolation still coughing.

The list goes on.

To be fair coughing can last for weeks after. If that's the o ly symptom they have left after self isolation they are following government guidelines.
