Union Reps

Post by notts1862 »

Im not sure if its Nottingham Mail Centre but i feel our union reps are weak. They let managers do postmans work and when complain the responce his i will write a letter.
The mail centre manager must have a sack load reads them and laughs before he chucks them in the bin.
What else can we do to stop this.

Stand back do nothing - the next review will find the job can be done with fewer postman. (sarcasm)

In the past as soon as the manager turns his back fag breaks, toilet breaks etc seem to rise - the more he/she does the less we do.

BACK YOUR REP.

Report any Manager doing postmans work along with times dates and duration. Keep
knocking eventually they will crack, especially after the news gets further up the food chain.

Depends on how far up the Manager's backside some of your reps are....... :Very Happy
And after a while, you can work on points for style,
Like the club tie, and the firm handshake,
A certain look in the eye and an easy smile.

You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to,
So that when they turn their backs on you,
You'll get the chance to put the knife in.

Most of them are either scared or mates so frustrating having no power to do anything without fair of being suspended in challenging to much.

stand as the rep. then you will be in a position to challenge.
