All will be revealed Mr Postman.

With thanks to the Carpenters

chance1000000 wrote:Hi everyone, my name is Antony and im new to the boards but I just wanted a little help on becoming a relief worker for the Post-office. I will give you story:
Ive been currently working for a local postoffice for nearly 3 years on part-time basis and the whole of 2011 I took another part-timers hours making me full time as I were covering the other persons matunity leave which is the bosses wife. Whilst on full time they both went on holiday leaving me on my own, I didn't mind as I know how to run a post-office and confident enough to be left on my own. During this time I enjoyed it but as I am back to part-time again it gave me the idea to enquire about covering other post-offices around the area. I am still practically left on my own doing all the nitty-gritty stuff like cutting off the end of the day stuff, filling the atm, cashing up etc. I don't want to look for a full time job because the post-office is 2 minutes walk from where I live and the boss I know from school who is a few years older than me. It even has a shop side with me being from the local area I even know the other staff and dont want to leave for these reasons. Before I bore you going on and on I want to know how and what is needed to become a relief worker?? I can do everything except passports. Also I have worked in a car tax post-office before this job so Ive got a bit more than 3 years experience. I hope someone can help me in the right direction. I live in Blackburn, Lancashire if anyone wants to know my area...

immediate post office work avail. call or text on 07980 080840

Mr Postman,
It looks like subbie was right about the NFSP seeing as the Certiific. Officer for trade unions has deservedly struck them off. From what I hear they only have a few days left to wriggle out of the mess they are in. At least the CWU does not receive funding from the post office. We all know that subps' are a fairly docile, non-militant, group that don't like change. However, those officials and members that continue to support the NFSP must ultimately accept considerable responsibility for the mess the post office network is now in.
Apologies for posting this on a "relief" subject but I feel subbie deserves an apology. Doubt he'll get one!!

Are you on commission or something?
What makes you think the NFSP is going out of business,what's going on over there?
How does being a member of the CWU get his details to sub offices,bearing in mind the last figures I saw there wasn't that many who had joined.

Yes Mr Postman, your words Sir I believe, would you like ketchup with them ? :nana

Eh? Look see what happens when I go missing for a while.

An apology? For what,asking a fecking question!

Speaking of apologies,did you subbies ever get one off of Furey for his inept unskilled undedicated wank biscuit type subbies quote?

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.

Are the NFSP gone yet?
I don't think so...
How many CWU subbies are there now anyway?
Wasn't it 230-ish back in July.....out of how many subbies would that be then? :neutral:
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

By stretching a few truths they (the NFSP) managed to get a stay of execution until the 18th December, they have one more job to do for their masters in the mean time.

Postmasters in the CWU are big enough to apply for bargaining rights once the "blockage" is finally removed.

Thanks for your interest.
