Stop Royal Mail staff having to continue their duties without PPE for Coronavirus.

The Issue

In light of this worldwide pandemic whilst people are being instructed to stay at home to prevent the spread of Coronavirus, Royal Mail staff are expected to continue to work closely together in small sorting offices and complete their deliveries without any PPE provided for them. 

We are putting ourselves and our families at serious risk of contracting the virus. We are Key Workers but we do not have the equipment to keep us safe. Please support us by signing this petition.

The Decision Makers

Royal Mail
Responded
We have seen the petition relating to Royal Mail. The petition seems to imply that our postmen and postwomen are working without PPE. This is absolutely not the case. The safety of our colleagues is our number one priority at Royal Mail. We have recently committed more than £25 million towards PPE. We have good supplies of all relevant materials eg disposable gloves and hand sanitiser. We were the first delivery company in the UK to adopt contact-free delivery methods. Others then followed.. We also implemented a range of social distancing measures eg one person per delivery van. We think it is important that everyone knows the facts. The safety of our colleagues is our numbers on priority. We are providing PPE.
