Doing The Job Properly

[Flashman]

I'm reading a lot on here about delivery staff doing the job properly but are MC staff doing the same as their colleagues.

I'm f***ing sick to death of seeing MC staff carrying more than one full box at a time, pushing two Gangbangs, working with broken equipment, and stopping back after their time to get the despatch through.


So are MC staff doing the job properly?

Flashman: Pull the line manager, if no response a letter to shift manager stating H/S. As for the members a word about culperability and work related injuries i.e. RM like you to breaking H/S regs but injury yourself and its your fault resulting in no pay award for injury.

Staff staying back to get a dispatch out you must be joking it's hard enough for them to stay until their right time.

The staff at the MC I'm working in are persistant offenders with regards to breeching H&S rules and standard working practices. Yes they carry, move and use multiple and broken pieces of equiptment constantly. In fact one of my biggest gripes is distribution/dock staff moving two, sometimes three full Yorks at once. I bring this issue up on a daily basis with my line manager, to no avail. When I give my manager a faulted peice of equiptment to take out of service, (as we have no allocated storage facillity in my MC), as soon as I turn around it's getting used by some foolish member of staff, who doesn't seem to comprehend that they are totally responsible if something goes wrong involving the faulty item. It doesn't help the fact that I have a different line manager on an almost weekly basis. Staff regularly eat, drink and wear headphones on machinery. They regulary stop back and rush around to finish the job for the despatch. Some even start early on my section in order to set up the handstamping/tipping/meter/ops/opp areas. The nightshift overtime staff constantly set up the area to help advance their own shift, which means they are removing and adding equiptment to my work area. This is usually stored or posistioned in the most haphazard way and can involve hiding yorks of trays, securing tray stands to rails with yellow bag ties etc...... It is a ludicrus situation that I find hard to believe, especially in this time of such despute.

f**k me!! not literally.


It must be the same at every MC, I think we are fighting a losing battle with H and S on the IMPS, people just don't seem interested in it.

Sad but true.

Don't for one minute believe every DO is "doing the job properly" ours certainly isn't.

Bri, I know exactly what you mean. See this thread I started, I think you may have some valuable input for it.

I think I am also out numbered on it too.
