Will sickness be very high tomorrow?

Already phoned in

Why would you phone in sick? Tomorrow your DO will probably start to feel the effects of last weeks Strike (in the pipeline) plus the Bank Holiday weekend. I'd be surprised if there's very much mail at all.

Go in have an easy day and then Strike again on the Wednesday, if your lucky your Rest Day may slot in well.

5 new sick today in my unit

Guess you guys phoning in sick got it right. We had a pretty Heavy Day (although light on Parcels) still had a load of mail going to at least 75% of DPs. Had to book Pressure OT. Funny that consider the mail's dropping!

How do you stand on getting paid for Sick Abscence? I thought RM had put a Freeze on it during the IA?

Pressure overtimes not allowed at the moment is it?

After being told last week there was no overtime to clear backlogs from strike due to sickness today I was asked to stay on but computer said NO

Been informed this Morning that OT will be payed to ALL employees who wish to do so..this is after we were told last Tuesday that this would not be the case if you were to participate in any strike action…

So their contingency plans are working so well they are now offering overtime to clear No thanks.

Suits Simon fine. Save the daily basic hours payments to 100,000 people, pay a bit of overtime to clear the backlog. No effect to the mail whatsoever. Royal Mail will play that game indefinitely

TEAM - People are suffering mental health issues, stress - because of the ongoing dispute and cost of living crisis.

Anyone on low pay like us will be feeling stressed right now - It's a tough time.

It wasn't to Clear any Strike Baglog is was just busy after the Bank Holiday Weekend was my understanding. So "Business as Usual"... Mind you they haven't paid it yet!
