How would they know what is essential mail?

Barclays sends me credit card offers that I’m not interested in but they appear in an envelope

if you mean the flyers we get the post office are paid to deliver them by the advertising company. As it’s probably under a contract I’m sure they wouldn’t want to pay the money back.

Is it necessary for us...nope

Necessary for the post office...yes

Leaflets for pizzas etc, really not hard.

RM are proving little or no ppe for staff. Social distancing is not happening as depots aren’t big enough, sorting is still being done shoulder to shoulder. Some depots don’t even have soap in the toilets! Out on delivery there are now no places to go to the loo and wash hands as they’re all closed. RM have stopped the majority of van sharing and stopped signatures on pda but that’s the only safeguards postal workers have.

Boris is sending out 30million letters. People are going nuts ordering shite online and it’s as busy as Christmas. From Thursday this week we will be handling the collection and return of covid19 testing kits that nhs staff are self administering. Staffing levels are about 30% down due to self isolating, shielding and childcare issues (they class us as key workers but we’re not being given childcare places).

All this and RM are still making us deliver bloody door2door leaflets! We still have to treat them as if they were addressed mail!

I started the thread cause all of yesterday’s mail was junk, I just thought it was so unfair to make the postman come to my house for no reason.

Absolutely! Our union are trying to get them stopped but no joy so far. Pizza leaflets and farmfoods are bad enough but some of the leaflets are quite distasteful given the circumstances, imagine the distress a funeral leaflet may cause.
