Non Union Member Dog bite

Post by bakersdozen »

I was bitten on delivery yesterday while on delivery in the reception of a firm i deliver to, owner was in process of saying it wouldn't bite as it did!!!! then sat there not caring about incident!!

Went to doctors for tetanus booster and was also given some antibiotics (£7.20) can i as a non union member make a claim for any costs? also i was due to run a half marathon later this month, would there be a chance of claiming entry fee back? have taken pics of the wound to cover mesen.

Thanks
Thehair

yes there probably is, but not being in the CWU it's YOU that does all the leg work. See CAB 4 advice

Did you report the incident to the Police?
If not, do it ASAP. As for the money. I don't know how you go about claiming it back. But as Thehair said: The Citizens Advice Bureau will be able to help you with that.

Again and i don't understand this and i know i've asked before.

How are we in a situation where we get attacked be it by a dog or some scrote and we either have to be in the union or do the leg work ourself when we were on duty when these incidents happen.

There seems to be no protection or help from RM on this at all.

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.
