Remember him?

The dad-of-one was suspended for four weeks by the Royal Mail after he delivered a form to residents on his Gibbonsdown
round which told them how to stop unaddressed junk mail being delivered to their door.

After a national outcry of support for Roger he was reinstated - but rather than being returned to his round, he was given a
backroom job. He is currently off work with stress.

In September:
ANTI-JUNK mail postman Roger Annies faced a five-hour grilling from Royal Mail bosses.

A CWU official said: "The meeting lasted for five-and-a-half hours, which is exceptional for a disciplinary hearing - although
I admit this was something very unusual.

Roger said:
"They have made it clear that I will not be doing what I was before, and I am not happy with that.
"I cannot accept being treated like this. I do not feel comfortable or happy at the way I have been treated.
"I feel that they are trying to shut me away from the public so nobody can see me."

Communication Workers' Union representative Amarjite Singh said:
"We're glad with the outcome that they haven't dismissed him."
-------------
Quite disgusted that the Union didn't seem to do enough for him,and as for his colleagues,what were they doing?
How the hell did they have a meeting for five-and-a-half hours.
And the Manager in all this,how has he got away with the National outcry that he caused?
Such a crazy situation,and you have to feel sorry for Roger.

But there could be a silver lining.
Barry and district news ask the people of Barry to get behind a campaign to see anti-junk hero postie Roger Annies
crowned Postman of the Year.

Give postie Roger a first class accolade

Could be interesting.

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.
