flag Royal Mail workers accuse managers of hiding undelivered mail to fake delivery targets, worsening service failures.

flag Royal Mail employees allege managers are pressuring them to hide undelivered mail during inspections to falsely meet delivery targets, with workers reporting practices like relocating mail to trolleys or “taking the mail for a ride” to create the illusion of completed rounds. flag These claims come amid widespread delays affecting critical services, including medical appointments and legal documents, as Royal Mail fell short of its 2024–25 targets—delivering just 77% of first-class mail and 92.5% of second-class mail on time, compared to 93% and 98.5% goals. flag Ofcom has fined the company £37 million, and MPs are set to question leadership over the crisis. flag Workers blame low pay, staffing shortages, and a toxic management culture, while Royal Mail maintains that 92% of mail is delivered on time and denies the allegations, stating it investigates concerns.
