Prioritising of items

Post by lobsterhands »

Apparently RM are telling the press / public prioritising of mail, packets, etc etc isn’t happening… ha !! Is this a joke we’ve probably been doing it for the last 24 months ( even before covid ) Mail on walks ( mine including ) haven’t gone out for 5 days some duties longer because we are constantly told to concentrate on tracked, normal packets and to leave the mail. My walk and the paired duty it’s with have in total of 1300 drops between them and the frames are absolutely brimming with mail..!!
Safe too say IA is working.

Maybe we as individuals can all do our bit & report it anonymously
to the regulator (ofcom), local MPs, local newspaper etc. Include discreetly taken photos as evidence. It's time to expose the truth of what is actually happening & expose the lies & fraudulent practices of Thompson & his 'Team' :dance

I wonder if it's written anywhere that managers are to prioritise tracks or it's the spoken word of management so they get their bonuses. Could do with a whistle blower showing a photo or screenshot of an email or letter.

It's all greed.... all in it for themselves. When they are supposed to provide a universal service, not prioritise their own products.

Send letters to Ofcom, bombard them on twitter or other social media sites - let them know.


We all know our own post for our own houses gets delayed because of this. Our own mail has been sitting in a frame for days upon days whilst managers prioritise tracked. It's a joke.

I know it is hard when you see abject failure but it is not your fault do as they say and the whole blame will rest on the shoulders of one Simon Thompson for it is his fault and his alone!

The managers need to be careful here coz if they’ve been told to prioritise over letters by ST and his cronies if they do get found out they will get thrown under the bus that’s for sure……..

I am more bothered about us the real workers don't get sacked for the sake of a confrontation with management.

In a way it makes more sense for managers to prioritise packets and Tracked over letters as they take up more space. If letters and flats were prioritised, you'd have a couple of days at most before every last office in the country was jammed up with yorks of Tracked and packets

Today, at ours, they sorted sorting letters at 7.15, cut off at 7.30 to concentrate on packets, then cut off on packets at 8.30 ...

It is almost impossible to contact OFCOM. Try for yourself, I have. There is no contact number, address or email. OFCOM rely on information given to them by Royal Mail !!!
Simon says it's clear it's clear.

Manager- “I want you to fail the letters and prioritise the tracked”. This was said multiple times.

I suppose now that all managers will stick up for each other this recording is basically useless ? I know we hear this daily but would it be of use to anybody else.

OFCOM. Do your job and complete some spot checks in Royal Mail units.
The USO is not being adhered to, and hasn't been adhered to for 2 1/2 years.
I would be confident in saying that up to half of the address points in many areas of the U.K will not have received any letter mail today.

More letters stayed in my unit today than went out.
