How do you question the validity and integrity of the vote? This is the second vote in a row where the outcome does not match with opinion on the shop floor. Is there an official pathway to have the integrity of the voting system looked at by an external source?

Oh no is Walsh still banging on about doubling up as carers :crazy:
We could walk peoples dogs?
Perhaps we could start delivering food shopping for Amazon and toilet rolls etc, oh, we've started doing that anyway!!

Regardless where does MW think either the time or the staff is coming from to do something extra even if he ever came up with a good idea, whenwe can't even fill the present vacancies in most DO's.

Has he ever actually explained what this means ? Nipping down the shop to get the old dear a few bits , walking her to gp , watering her garden etc.
La Poste introduced it and as far as I know still do it.
There are a list of questions on the PDA. I can't remember them exactly but along the lines of - is the heating on, is there food in the house?
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

He pointed out that postal workers are not actually required to wear a full uniform, only a "distinctive sign" to prove they are a genuine postman, especially when entering elderly people's homes. This could be as little as a badge pin of La Poste's arrow-shaped logo.
[...]
French householders could open their door to a postman sporting anything from a beret to a tank top, or even a ski-style balaclava.
Question 1: what is your year of birth?
Question 2: are you over 65?
Question 3: where do you keep your valuables?
The machine stops.

I don't think any of the higher up union lot have worked in either a MC or a DO for many, many years. They have no understanding of how either MCs or DOs work.
