I've looked and googled,with a K and a C lol,but i can't find anything.

What happened to me was i got busted for an AOD many years ago as i got hurt for using a Koffin in the yard,screw told me i wasn't supposed to use them out there and that i had signed paperwork to show that i had had some kind of induction/training/manual handling shite or whatever,can't rem exactly what as it was 10 years or so ago.

I'm guessing CWU HQ would have something on them,also justsayit@royalmail.com

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.

I would like to know if there are 'safe methods' to bring mail out onto a dock in YORKS to load into vans. Since YORKS do not have self levelling bottoms. With the low base, there is a risk of back injury to an individual even if correct lifting & handling methods are used. Using sleeved YORKS is not an option as these are used for packets only in my office. Has anyone experimented with putting up turned letter trays as an extended base in YORKS? Like to know if it has been tried out in other offices
