Assault

Post by clashcityrocker »

If a colleague is assaulted while on delivery and as a result of the assault incurs expenses (teeth, glasses - that sort of thing) is Royal Mail liable for those expenses?
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

In theory yes, as the business should have insurance, but your colleague would be better off putting in a claim with unionline who will go after any costs etc associated with any assault through the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA).
Royal Mail managers.....about as popular as a t.urd in a swimming pool!
The DDA/Equality Act demands action,NOT words......adjustments NOT Occupational Health referrals.Case No:2505901/09
Royal Mail is an Equal Opportunities Employer..It discriminates against everybody.
