Sorting the mail is one of the jobs that is impractical to do from home.

Workplaces around the country have been working out how to respond to the coronavirus pandemic.

We would like to hear from people working for Royal Mail, including staff and management, about their experiences at work in recent months. How has Royal Mail adapted to the pandemic? What safety measures have been introduced? Do you have any concerns?
