Posties are being disciplined for Covid related absences, including if they have tested positive. 

Final warnings are being issued for Covid related absence. This means any more absence for any reason will result in a consideration of dismissal. 

Royal Mail’s Covid absence policy states that “Covid related absences should be disregarded from the normal absence process”

Delivery Office managers are not following this advice, and in fact are telling employees that there is no specific Covid related absence policy. 

Clearly a lie as it’s on Royal Mail intranet. 

Postal workers, like all key workers, have worked throughout this pandemic, we ask that you support us to ensure that we won’t lose our jobs for doing the right thing.
