Australia Post - Theft Fest and Spying on Employees
This is an interesting little extract from an article - and it has a few choice comments on the end.

Earlier this month, Australia Post's managers were accused of spying on staff. By using computerised letterboxes, they were able to catch workers falsifying their time sheets. Instead of denying the claims, senior management said they were entitled to secretly monitor their employees because the organisation isn't answerable to state laws.
Perhaps this lack of trust is explained by a global report released at the end of last year, the Global Retail Theft Barometer. It found that Australia was the only country in the Asia Pacific region to list employee theft as the main reason for missing profits and stock shortages. The majority of countries blamed shoplifting for their retail shrinkage rates.
Blah blah blah blah..........

Not surprised Aust Post stoop so low, the management there is scum, from my personal experience, apart from one decent boss i had who was constantly moved around to stop him being effective anywhere.
What is pathetic is that its because they have to pay overtime to the few posties who haven't left, which is why they care so much what hours everybody does.
Get back to an 8 hour day - FAIR WORK FOR FAIR PAY & there will be NO PROBLEM.

Australia Post... what a rubbish management they have. To save on penalty rates they got rid of all the career posties (a lot of which had irreplaceable skills & the speed of professional posties gained from years of practice & street knowledge), & hired the cheapest possible casuals. Now they need to flog em to keep em in line. Der!??!! I know who needs to get SACKED from that organization.

Had relatives send my children cash in cards and parcels through Australia Post, in each and every case the parcel or envelope was opened and the cash was removed.
The parcel/envelope was then 'repaired as a courtesy by Australia Post'
I am aware that cash should not be sent through post and now a number of elderly relatives are as well.
Seems that Aus Post are not monitoring their staff well enough, thieving unprofessional scum.
