Received an answer from HSE requesting further details about my complaints.
Easy enough to supply the information as quite a bit of it is already sorted and used in the book.
12 emails for 12subjects, all with photgraphic and/or documented evidence.
Lets see how that goes down with them.

DHL & The Top Employers Institute

Well I never.

It's only taken 5 months for them to reply, if vaguely and to a sir/madam called Mike.

I suppose that it is a start.

My money is on no further action, why? DHL are bigger than me.

DHL v. One Step Ahead

Hi - I'm reading "ONE STEP AHEAD: detectives hunt a serial killer who knows all their moves (The DSI Jeffrey Brandt Murders Trilogy Book 1)" by DENVER MURPHY and wanted to share this quote with you.

"Well this is it, thought McNeil.
Any hopes of being allowed to quietly slip back into the anonymity of his old role had been dashed.
He would now have to face the humiliation and injustice of being blamed for merely following orders.
Whilst he knew that he would want to stand up for himself and argue that any fallout from that day was Johnson’s responsibility for hatching the risky, not to mention ethically questionable, plan, he also still felt somewhat intimidated by her. Even if he could brave the inevitable wrath that would immediately meet his accusations, he could do nothing to stop her exacting revenge by ensuring he was given nothing more high profile in the future than shoplifting. He could of course make a formal complaint but as modern as the police was in the 21st century, and as much as official policy endorsed whistle-blowing, the truth was tradition came above everything. A grass was still a grass, and a grass could not be trusted; shunned forevermore by his colleagues. If Sergeant Andrews had an opinion on how best to handle the situation, he clearly wasn’t keen to share it and maintained his focus on completing sections in his logbook.
All that remained for McNeil was to get this over and done with, in the hope that he might be allowed to leave early and crack on with his plan to quickly fall into an inebriated oblivion. It was as he neared the top of the stairs that he remembered he still didn’t know the code to enter the plain clothes’ floor. Just as he was about to gingerly knock, like a school pupil at the door to the staffroom, he heard footsteps behind.
Without greeting, Johnson brushed past him and started punching numbers into the keypad.
McNeil was hit by the strong aroma of fresh cigarette smoke mixed in with whatever perfume she had applied that morning. Although she held the door open behind her, she did not look in McNeil’s direction and strode across the floor towards her office.
That none of the few detectives in the room glanced in either of their directions was small comfort. He walked into Johnson’s office and turned to close the door, having resolved to speak first; hoping that a heartfelt, in tone at least, apology might go some way to fixing things
 Nevertheless, it was she who spoke first: ‘Who shat in your cornflakes?’
‘I’m sorry?’ Not quite the apology McNeil had intended.
‘I said, why are you looking so glum all of a sudden?’
‘But, ma’am, the flat… Sarah, Josh…’
‘Ah, bollocks to that. So what?’
‘But I thought you would be…’ Was all he could manage in reply.
‘Nah, it was a long shot anyway.’ She smiled and eased back in her chair.
‘And as for that contemptuous little twat, I would love to have seen the look on his face when he saw all those automatic weapons trained on him.’"

Have to rate this as a draw, both side stepping their whistle-blowing policies.

DHL v. Ultimatum (Tina Boyd 6) by Simon Kernick

Hi - I'm reading "Ultimatum: (Tina Boyd 6)" by Simon Kernick and wanted to share this quote with you.

It's a great read, pity I started with book 6 though

Beyond the corridor walls, Tina could hear the faint sound of cell doors clanking and the staccato shouts of prisoners. The air felt hot and artificial, with an unpleasant undercurrent of cleaning products, reminding her of a hospital.

The guard’s words unnerved her, even though she’d heard the same thing from different sources plenty of times.

It was always disconcerting to know that however hard you fought, the war against the bad guys was ultimately unwinnable.

‘The whole country’s a tinderbox, Officer Thomson,’ she said.

‘The riots in 2011 showed that. We’ve just got to make sure we do our bit and keep blowing out the matches.’ She decided to change the subject.

‘This attack on Garrett by Eric Hughes. Do you think it was spontaneous, or planned?’

‘It’s difficult to tell. Hughes is a nasty piece of work –they both are –but there was no history of conflict between the two of them. The men in here are some of the most dangerous in the country, and they’re living in unnatural conditions, so their behaviour can get unpredictable.’

‘What about the camera? I heard it was tampered with.’ ‘It was broken, but we’re not sure it was deliberate.’

‘Do you know how long it was broken for?’

Thomson shrugged. ‘Things like that are meant to be fixed straight away for health and safety reasons, but we’re like everyone else. Short of money and short of staff. So it could have been a while.’

‘Would the prisoners have known the camera was out of order? I mean, it would explain why Hughes attacked Garrett where he did.’

‘I honestly don’t know,’ he answered, but Tina’s antennae picked up something in his voice that made her think he might be lying. She filed it away for future reference. They stopped at a set of heavy double doors and Thomson used a card to swipe them through.

He nodded at a guard on the other side, who unlocked another set of doors, and then they were into the maximum-security section of the prison. It was far quieter in here, and the smell of cleaning fluids stronger, making Tina feel slightly nauseous. Thomson turned to her as they walked down a windowless tunnel illuminated with garish strip lighting.

‘Be careful of our Mr Garrett. He might be polite and quiet, but I wouldn’t trust him an inch.’

‘Don’t worry, Officer Thomson. I can look after myself.’

‘So I’ve heard, Miss Boyd. So I’ve heard.’

They stopped outside a door where two more prison officers stood guard.

‘He’ll be handcuffed for the duration of your interview, and there’s a panic button in case he tries anything. Press it and we’ll intervene immediately.’

Tina smiled. ‘Thanks, but I’m sure he won’t do anything stupid. He knows there’s no way out of here.’ Officer Thomson nodded.

‘Exactly,’ he said, opening the reinforced door. ‘Right now, he’s got nothing to lose.’"

"‘No. I’ve got to say I’m surprised. I’m not even working on the Stanhope case.’

‘The reason is I trust you. And I also think you can get things done. Most people do what they’re told, fill in the forms they’re meant to fill in, and let their bosses make the big decisions. That’s why this country’s in such a parlous state. Nobody likes taking responsibility any more. If it had been any other copper sitting where you are today, things would move slowly. With you, I think we might be able to get somewhere.’

Tina resisted telling him that as a DC in a mid-sized CID department, she really wasn’t in that powerful a position.

‘I’ll do what I can,’ she said. He nodded slowly

‘I know you will. I hear there’s a team still investigating the events at the Stanhope. I’m assuming they briefed you before you came here.’"

"within the police service itself, he ran eleven crackhouses across north-east London that were reputed to net him more than two hundred grand a week. And they were never shut down because one of Tyndall’s front companies bought the properties being used to sell the dope as well as the properties next door (usually at knockdown prices) so that complaints from neighbours were kept to a minimum, which meant the cops weren’t too interested either.

If no one reports a crime, there’s an argument that a lot of target-obsessed senior coppers subscribe to that says it’s not actually being committed.

Ergo, everyone –dealers, addicts, civilians, the law –stays happy.

One of the headaches you’ve got as a crack entrepreneur, though, is getting the cash out of your establishments and into your own grubby mitts. You need men you can trust for this. Men who are reliable, and who scare"

It was always disconcerting to know that however hard you fought, the war against the bad guys was ultimately unwinnable. - I suspect that the bad guys know how to play the rules, so that's a win for DHL, but I'm not beaten yet.

DHL - Deceit, Hypocrisy and Lies

Not sure why, but some of the formating in my book doesn't seem to work when it is uploaded live.
The preview version works in Kindle Direct Publishing, but some of the tabs and inserted shapes move or disappear.
I am trying a different format which should hopefully update tonight, but my book lives.

Here's a link to the original version, warts and all

Currently page 283, although there are a few tweeks still to be made.

Collusion between Savage Blue and DHL?

There is further evidence in the book to prove that these statements are all genuine contradictions. 

“Oh what a tangled web we weave, When first we practice to deceive”

is a quotation by Sir Walter Scott, which I'm sure you knew.

It means that when you tell lies or act in a dishonest way you create problems and complications which you cannot control

Unions’ report challenges DHL’s “good conduct” claims

May 09, 2012 by Peter MacLeod

Global trade unions will unveil a report into how Deutsche Post DHL treats its workers at the company's AGM in Frankfurt today (Wednesday 9th May).

They will launch a white paper entitled Corporate Irresponsibility, Deutsche Post DHL’s Global Labour Practices Exposed, which exposes what it describes as a "shameful track record of union avoidance outside of Europe and overuse of temporary or agency workers". Shareholders are being urged to help "clean up" the logistics multinational, and ensure that high standards are met throughout its operations.

UNI Global Union and the ITF (International Transport Workers’ Federation) says its research shows "widespread and systematic abuses regarding freedom of association and precarious work". In country after country workers, it says, are fearful of retaliation if they try to organise a union. In many countries, including Malaysia, Indonesia and India, subcontracted workers have been paid substantially less than regular workers while doing exactly the same work, claims the report.

In a release, the organisations say: "In Colombia, Costa Rica and South Africa, the company has forced workers to submit to lie detector tests in spite of the company’s initial position that it did not tolerate the use of such tests. The company has also been fined substantial amounts of money for health and safety violations, notably earlier this year in the US where DP-DHL subsidiary Exel has been fined almost $300,000.

"These labour rights violations directly contradict DP-DHL’s own corporate responsibility policies and its commitment to the principles of the United Nations Global Compact, which it signed in 2006.

"The report provides a whole raft of evidence holding the company to account and demanding it meet its aspirations as a responsible enterprise in every country where it operates, not just in its home base, Germany."

The campaign is being supported by the 175-million member International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC). The unions will be raising the concerns detailed in the new publication with Deutsche Post DHL (DP-DHL) at its AGM in Frankfurt today. Present at the shareholders’ meeting will also be Monica Okpe, a Norwegian DHL worker who recently won reinstatement after being illegally sacked for her trade union work. As well as targeting the company’s leadership, the unions will also seek to persuade shareholders that this is an issue for them too, and have written to them to say:

"We find it unbelievable that a company of Deutsche Post DHL’s size and aspirations can find itself unable to put a figure to the number of agency workers it uses, even though many of them are on poverty wages and are being put at risk of injury and death. We find it unacceptable that DHL workers have suffered intimidation, bullying and worse, and that the company can’t even get its facts straight on the use of lie detectors against staff."

The new report – available at www.respectatdhl.org – investigates the company’s record on labour rights and treatment of workers across the globe. Philip Jennings, UNI Global Union general secretary, commented: “If I were a shareholder, I would be asking some serious questions at the meeting. DHL’s global practices are a definite risk to the company’s ethics, reputation and image. This new report shows a shopping list of labour violations. DHL clearly needs to address these concerns if it is to be seen as an ethical and responsible global operator.”

ITF general secretary David Cockroft stated: “At its best, this company is very good indeed. At its worst, it is racking up fines, allowing shameful abuses such as the use of lie detector tests and intimidation against innocent workers, and using workers employed on the cheap and with inadequate protection. Yet the high corporate responsibility ideals it aspires to are almost within its reach. It just needs to guarantee a decent standard of treatment for all its workers, not just some.”

Sharan Burrow, general secretary of the ITUC (International Trade Union Confederation), added: “DP-DHL’s corporate social responsibility mechanisms are failing. We would strongly advise them to do what their workers want, which is to engage in discussions about negotiating a global framework agreement that would set baseline standards for all the company’s personnel, and enable them and management to move ahead together to make DP-DHL even more successful.”

UNI Global Union and the ITF have been encouraging DHL to sign a global framework agreement, designed to ensure that the company respects the same core rights of its employees in every country in which it operates. The unions’ concerns will also be raised in a leaflet they will be handing out to shareholders arriving at the AGM.

Hello

Day One

Welcome aboard.

Have you been bullied at work?

I have, to the point where I think I've got "bully me" tattoo'd on my forehead.

Whilst this is Day One of my blog, it is somewhere around Day 17 on my attempts to write a book . I have no idea, as yet, how to get this published, or the processes involved in getting it to a stage where it could be published. My efforts so far have involved culling some information from various sources;
e-mails
Reports
Employment Tribunal statements
Liquidators Reports
and a few other sources that aren't readily coming to mind.

I have a working title, which I have incorporated into a cover.

To quote Rolf Harris, "Can you tell what it is yet?"

This will be a work of Fact  oops, sorry that category doesn't exist does it?

This will be a work of non-fiction. That doesn't have the same ring about it though.

I have been bullied by DHL.
I have been bullied by Savage Blue Ltd. A Service Provider for DHL.
I have been bullied by Diamond Logistics. 
Just for clarity, that is Savage Logistics who are trading as Diamond Logistics in Leeds. Sister Company to Savage Blue. Not Diamond Logistics, Head Office in Guildford who were absolutely fantastic.

Oh, and just for anyone who this this might be a bluff, deception, subterfuge, pretence, sham, fake, show, deceit, false show, idle boast, feint, delusion, hoax, fraud, masquerade, charade, trick, stratagem, ruse, manoeuvre, scheme, artifice, machination;
humbug or bluster, this is my work so far;

just in case that font is a little small for you, that's currently 342 pages and 89,277 words, plus a number of screen shots of other paragraphs from documents that I only have PDF formats of.

It's going well.

Gordon's Alive

OK, I might not call it Gordon, but the book is alive.

It exists on paper.

It still needs some work.

DHL - STTT (Straight to the top) complaint, continued, Plan C

Well, that didn't work either

Here we go again.
