A letter from Simon Thompson

[worktotime]

This "response" from the CWU has been posted on Facebook, totally missing the insulting tone of the letter so hardly worth the effort of issuing it really!


Dear Colleagues,
You may be aware that Simon Thompson has written to operational colleagues, with letters arriving at home addresses this weekend. The letter contains the following reference.
The DHSC have formally confirmed this week that Christmas Day & New Year’s Day are both ‘non service days’ so the reference to delivering on Christmas Day is not correct and the edit to the letter was not made in time.
Should you receive calls from locals reps we have prepared the following statement as a reactive response:
‘We have been in discussions with the Department of Health and Social Care and have now confirmed that we will not need to deliver [or collect] test kits on Christmas Day and New Years Day’.
Please feel free to share with Divisional/Area Reps & ASRs. My apologies in advance for additional enquires that you may receive as a result of the above.
Kind regards,
Francis Williams – Commercial & Field Programme Director .
Regards
From Mark Baulch | Assistant Secretary Outdoor Postal Department

so after all the videos the company have thrown on about you must work harder you lazy lot and this is that the best they have come up with ? , well thanks that i dont have to work christmas day and new years day , but if this is the best i can see this xmas costing the company loads of money from failures oh well finish time and home , and whatever this new bloke has done trying to get the staff to TRUST management has just gone backwards to the good old Rico times so well done , and you never know you might hear summat from pullinger ? but dont hold your breathe.

The response to the letter didn’t even merit the use of the word response, it failed completely to-address the outrage this letter has caused , talk about the elephant in the room.

Brothers birthday cards sent early this week , mail not went out a few days , ppl spend good money and time sending these. Awful service now, rem the days you cdnt even leave a letter behind theyd hit you with wilful delay. Surely cant go on this way .

Clear the office, not just the frame
Don't you know, just who's to blame?
Trust at the doorstep, magical!
Trust in our leaders, mythical!
Does working harder bring you grief?
Take some 'instant pain relief'.
Scan at the door and not before,
We don't want complaints no more.
We must revise your dear old duty,
We change on pathways to new beauty.
The beauty is we coin it in.
The beauty is we win win win.
The beauty rises like a steeple.
That beauty's lost without your people!

Our postie passed our house at 5.30 pm yesterday still delivering

Can't do enough for a good company

But seriously with the deafening silence from the union I think they've hung you all out to dry. That letter was an insult to the bloody hard graft OPG's do every day not to mention dealing with imbecilic incompetent bully boy managers. You deserve better than that. Nothing changes or ever will with this company, as far as management on all levels are concerned you're just a number, easily replaceable and anyone can do you job and you are all work shy and conniving in their eyes.

Woaaaaah we are getting slated on there.
First off, I have been a bit ill and have not followed this thread (since I posted the letter ) and I have just skipped through it today, I hope you guys are not breaking our number 1 rule please.

KNOWN PERSONALITIES WITHIN ROYAL MAIL AND THE CWU
It is fair to say that those in the 'top jobs' come in for a lot of criticism on this forum, please post constructive criticism and nothing else. Any libellous or slanderous posts will be deleted or amended, in no way should these personalities have any abuse aimed at them, period.

I will not comment on there and I never will, bit obvious.
Good to see that WE on here has given that lovein over there their biggest thread, all be it from just quickly looking through, we're getting hammered.
This site is NOT ON FACEBOOK, I did kinda see that possibly mentioned.
I will continue to post up the bollox that goes on in there, whether you agree with it or not, tbf if I am honest, I personally call it bollox but the vids and any quotes are what they are, I suppose I agree that it's not all bollox, but most is. (My personal thoughts)
There is some embarrassing brown nosing on there and I will look in the thread to see who is slagging us off...
I was going to do a 'This week on Workplace' thing like myroyalmail does and thought it was a bit childish, but...

I will over the next day or 2 go through the whole lot and decide what to do if anything, I will calm down 1st.
I am actually having a row with a CWU official at the moment, it's like busses this.

Remember guys please be careful what you post and watch the language.

Ta.

Cheers POSTMAN. Personally speaking, I would quite like to know what's going on there too. I just don't want to join to find out though!

Same here. I don't do Facebook and I certainly don't do Facebook at work or workplace or whatever it is.

It isn't on the main CWU page. It was posted within "1st class chat" shared from the CWU South East Wales Amalgamated page.
