Huge piles of undelivered post are reportedly being left out in the elements at Bristol Mail Centre. And staff at the Filton site claim they have been told by management to bin flyers and promotional mail with questions raised by the union over the legality of that decision.
A Royal Mail worker of long service told Bristol Live they have never witnessed a backlog of deliveries like this before.
The worker, who has asked to remain anonymous due to fear of being dismissed after speaking to Bristol Live, said they are concerned for members of the public who have been waiting days to receive their packages with "more coming in than going out".
According to the worker, the heaps of packages have now attracted rats and other animals including a fox. They said there have been talks of a tarpaulin to cover everything but said “it would have to be the biggest tarpaulin in the world as everything has been ruined”.
