Re: Severe Weather H&S Standard & Joint Statement
With the poxy revisions going on just about now, and the absolutely atrocious walks being foisted on postal workers, I just want to kill somebody from RM/CWU management team whenever they have the absolute gall to talk about "caring" for our health & safety.
The inhuman w*****s we slave for, couldn't give a flying fook about our health & safety.

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.
