Can anyone confirm what our union rep sent today?

Apparently from Monday it's going to be compulsory to wear a facemask at all times whilst indoors in Royal Mail buildings?

Good but Possibly already too late for me, I have symptoms and am now awaiting a test result. If positive I know I could only have picked it up in our office which has just had a confirmed case.

It is now up to the majority to insist that managers enforce this with disciplinary action against those who refuse/forget/don't know that they are meant to cover the nose. Anyone claiming an exemption should be referred to OH for an opinion.

Should have been done 6 months ago.
You can remove them when out on delivery, except if going into a shop etc.

The face masks the general public and we use have no benefit really only false sense of security and distancing should be mandatory,other medical problems can arise from infrequent changing of masks.The masks that really stop viruses are bought up.

This company is f***ing backwards. Social distance inside the office(hahaha) and wear masks. But then go out and share a van after it because we won’t spend an extra penny on more vans. They really sicken me at times.

Exactly its cheaper than the proper measure IE enforcing social distancing meaning working in staggered start times ,and no van sharing but of course they wont want to enforce that as like toonshola, said it would mean having to spend money on hired vans and god forbid that they would have to spend proper money protecting us. Instead its another public stunt to make it look like they really care ,but we all know they dont give a s**t.

I know I don’t have to but lots in my office are therefore putting the rest in the office at increased risk. There’s been a lot of leaning on people and pressure from managers to van share which has clearly worked. It’s voluntary only if your willing to stick up for yourself.
