LTB 073/24 – BBC PANORAMA – ROYAL MAIL: WHERE’S MY POST – MONDAY 26TH FEBRUARY 8PM
No. 073/24

20th February 2024



To: All Branches



Dear Colleagues

BBC PANORAMA – ROYAL MAIL: WHERE’S MY POST – MONDAY 26TH FEBRUARY 8PM

BBC Panorama will be broadcasting a special episode on Royal Mail on Monday 26th February at 8pm on BBC One. The show will highlight the current state of play with regards to Royal Mail and the future of the postal service.

A wide range of customers, managers and politicians have been interviewed. The union has also been engaged in the programme but as always with these productions, editing will cut contributions down significantly.

What we know is the programme will spark a major debate on Royal Mail in the coming days and weeks and we will maximise our voice in that.

Branches should bring the planned programme to the attention of our members.

Yours sincerely



Dave Ward
General Secretary

Martin Walsh
Deputy General Secretary (Postal)
I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
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.

Meh, the BBC along with the rest of the media and sections of the public were happy to spin the line, that the strikes were about us being greedy and wanting more pay. They don't get to now be outraged and surprised that a year down the line, the postal service is being ripped to pieces.

To be honest give me one industry now where they don’t cut corners and treat frontline staff like dirt?

If Darren Jones MP is on the programme then count me in, he did the most to shine a light on the RM hierarchy.

Also, cue the general public getting RM confused with the Post Office as well.

:chuckle There have certainly been a lot of strikes in recent years. Junior doctors, and the Train drivers are still striking and have been in a pay dispute for nearly two years.
On the face of it, shareholder value is the dumbest idea in the world.

They'll have to look in the back pockets of RM executives

I wonder if this Panorama programme is the reason why they have stepped things up in our office.
