This has to do with the right that recognizes that everyone must  have ACCESS TO INFORMATION.  The core of this right centers around other human rights, including the right to equitable  education, employment, and fair and responsible participation in the democratic process.
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.

Everything that comes into the office is due to go out that day, that is why it is there.
Our MC colleagues on here have confirmed that.
For instance the 2nd class that is in your office today has to go out today as it has already been previously held at the MC.
That 2nd class is now 1st class as it has been held at the MC before being sorted.

While I agree that at times telling the old girl can be a waste of time, how about cc in your local MP and the press.

I recently added my MP into a justsayit email for my daughter who was having mail problems.....it got sorted.
The more of us grass the better.


Royal Mail Delivery - Avoiding delay - Annex one
Local work plan
Delay to mail is a serious matter and could potentially be unlawful. All employees have a responsibility to ensure all items are processed in accordance with the local workplan. All employees will be made aware of the local workplan and the specific requirements of the particular job roles they will perform. Any time mail is delayed, for whatever reason, Royal Mail employees should attempt to correct the problem efficiently and effectively as soon as possible.

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.

Could the link you provided be alright to print off and displayed on the noticeboard for staff at any DO?

Its an LTB so it should only be displayed on the Union noticeboard, and you'd be better checking with the rep, just as a matter of courtesy.

Otherwise you could just tell all your mates where you found it. :Very Happy
