Hmm that true then? We have a similar form and not a word against it oh and my walk and a few others are on the managers hit list as the worst performing :neutral:
yes its true & its your reps job to question things like this. Get on to your rep to ask the questions & if he is not happy he should get onto the area rep & so on, speaking for my office, there is no time to do these sorts of things as the jobs are way too big already.
Our deliveries are too big also but the rep is no help and never has been :evil/mad

Half our office left the union because the rep is so bad. When delivery to neighbour was mentioned it was the workers who asked about time being allocated for it, same as when collections from postboxes was mentioned. The only thing the rep ever fights for is work taken off his own delivery. When it's lapsing time, he does none. No one is interested in running for the rep job either because of how low an opinion everyone has of the Union.

Any battles in the office have been fought and won without the rep and in some cases he has even actively sided with management (even against Union members) :arrrghhh
So you would sooner all whinge and moan but do feck all about it.Good grief. :roll: :roll:
If your rep is s**t get somebody else,it's not hard. :cuppa
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.

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.

We've had one of those folders, for over a year, left outside the callers for us to fill in on return, I don't think anyone has ever used it.

You're right, it's not difficult but no one wants it. Meanwhile lets sweep under the carpet the real issue that crops up here time after time. Some reps are in it for themselves. . . Anything to get a cushy life and lots of mutual back scratching going on between rep and manager. I don't blame anyone for not wanting to come up against that.

First of all he did actually state that the members do stick up for themselves and do get things done, just with no help from the rep and secondly it's a blatant copout by the union to turn everything around on the members who individually and collectively pay for a service they don't get.

What goes down in some offices by reps is nothing short of a disgrace and it's not good enough for the union just to wash its hands and leave it up to a disillusioned, divided and understandably apathetic membership to clean it up.

These are CWU reps and what they do is done in the name of the union, It's long past time some accountability was brought to bear on these corrupt branches being run as personal social clubs for the chosen few and these reps in position purely to protect themselves and their mates.

We've tried it your way for as long as I can remember and as far as I can see the situation is getting worse not better, Time to stop expecting the members to do all the work, time the divisional reps started managing their divisions, time the national officers gave the divisional reps the powers needed to manage their divisions. Time to stop acting like a bunch of f***ing amateurs.
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

Couldn't agree more, to much pressure but on local reps, to many reps left to fight issues with very little if any backup or help. I've never met anyone higher than area rep in 20 years at RM.
