RM/CWU can advise you to wear one, dont want to force it as potential legal action is looming once Emergency Bill is finally over..what i heard from whistleblower lawyers is that even if it is legal requirement it might be the case that implementing mask wearing is unlawful..? It is the same with schools, supermarkets, churches etc..lawyers counting their chickens:))

Yep,virtually no one wears them.
Until there is an outbreak of mass Covid infections sweeping the office nobody seems to give a xxxx.

Shocking really that people are so complacent and is inevitable the virus is going pay them a visit.

I mean people will only start wearing a mask when Covid hits the office infecting large amounts.

I visit three sites, at one I rarely see anyone without a correctly worn mask. The second masks are worn but are usually pulled down to have a conversation (!), and the third has never enforced correct mask wearing.

I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Still being enforced in my office. Everyone wearing masks and using hand sanitiser. Social distancing is a bit hit and miss. But we were hit quite hard, about 10% of the office had COVID during the last year, same number had to shield, and probably about 20% had to self isolate at some point.

And how will a mask protect you , when it’s acknowledged that benefits are at best marginal, plus it took the company about 8 months into this nonsense to decide we should wear the pointless rags.
