Non-Believer Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 A loss this year is a fact, but it might still be worth remembering the £1.5M the PO has to stump up to Treasury every year, rain or shine, by statute. Alf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Power Posted December 13, 2018 Author Share Posted December 13, 2018 An increased pay offer to assist with the loss of overtime has been turned down. It's obvious that the union is encouraging the strikers to stick it out to protect the power of the union! http://www.iomtoday.co.im/article.cfm?id=44533&headline=Increased pay offer for posties is rejected&sectionIs=news&searchyear=2018 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hissingsid Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 I wonder if any of the forty plus managers are walking around delivering mail....nonebI would say. The story is forty odd managers to about two hundred workers, surprise....no profit. Solution, attack the workers rights and the customers expections..of getting mail 6 days a week. Possible answer, cut the number of managers as they are non productive, don't be silly this will not even be considered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paswt Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 I have been told there are 42 'managers' , including a 'wardrobe manager' () and I do wonder what they all do. That said I have found no problem with the 'posties' and the sub Post Office in Onchan provides an excellent service IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shake me up Judy Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 It's piss poor management and too many of them on massive salaries and pensions that has been the problem for too many years. You have to have worked there to really know what's going on here, and not swallow the usual spin and folk myths about postmen and women. Too many experts on here about things they know fuck all about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x-in-man Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Do they need a ‘wardrobe manager’? Do they need colour co-ordinated vans? A high viz vest and off the shelf and unwritten vans to deliver parcels is all that is needed. I have to wear my own clothes to work. If I have to work outside, I put my own coat on. That saves a few quid. Has anyone seen the electric post person Pat van about recently? If not, where has that gone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Central Scrutiniser Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 And the end of collective bargaining. Any pay increase at the discretion of management. Guess what that means? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
