Angard / Christmas Email Today

Post by NW11851 »

Received a circular email today.

Contained the startling statement ‘All Angard Royal Mail staff will be considered for shifts prior to the allocation of roles to external Christmas Casual workers.’

I simply do not believe them.

In view of the comparative wage rates I’m certain they will try to stuff as many Christmas Casuals into RMCs before even thinking about Angard Casual Zero-hours contract staff.

Or have the last few months made me extremely cynical?

Take with pinch of salt , smells like PR BS.
Perhaps a sweetener due to the looming strikes , where RM can't use external agency to cover shifts/backlog . :arrrghhh
