  • Why parcel delivery courier company DPD is in court.
    Most DPD drivers are on self-employed franchise contracts without sick pay and holiday pay.
    Ruth Lane, whose husband Don Lane died in 2018 and Alistair Mcleary, whose contract was terminated in 2018, share their stories.
    DPD strongly refute many of their claims.

      I didn't believe when Dr okouromi on TH-cam said he can help me beat fibromyalgia with his natural herbal medicine, after taking the herbs I feel much better now no more pains I'm so happy! You can also reach out to him for permanent cure...

    This resonates with me, this is not just DPD. I was treated like this as a courier for Amazon. Just in my case I was not paid, given a broken van and told too pay to fix it. This is a physically high pressures and demanding job and I've never been so tired in my life. I'm not surprised this mans body gave out, I have heard similar stories of couriers having hear attacks, crashing due to fatigue etc...
    You are forced to speed as the targets are unrealistic/unsafe. I was given my 1st ever speeding ticket.
    I was robbed of my phone in Birmingham and told to carry on delivering parcels. The parcels have more rights than you.
    This is a failure by the government to allow these third world conditions to continue. Why is there no regulation? Sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing his story.

    DPD have screwed over many ODF drivers over the years. Presenting the self employed option as a way of running your own business where you can make money but the reality is, they say jump, you must jump... otherwise “you’ll be out on your arse”... (heard those words many a time over the 5 years I spent there).
    When I finally quit, they conned me out of my deposit money almost £3000 claiming false damages to the van.... crooks.

    WAIT! I thought he was self employed and didn't have a manager who could tell him things ;)

      Spot on. If he was self-employed they should have said one of OUR managers spoke to him NOT his manager spoke to him. They are a nefarious company for sure.

      I swear, when this guy died, there was a 3-4 week period where the management were being so considerate towards us drivers... then it all changed again. A shift manager even told me it had come from the very top of DPD “this issue has died down in the media, we must cut out the humanity and get the job done”........ it’s crazy... what a world we live in

    Whom Can We Trust If No One Is Trustworthy?
    One of my favorite quips from Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is when Tom is defined as “a glittering hero…the pet of the old, the envy of the young,” and there were “some that believed that he would be President, yet, if he escaped hanging.” With these few words, Twain captured the essence of leadership in our world. Those who get to the top are the fiercest, most determined, and most ruthless. Today, the latter quality has become so intense that we can no longer believe our leaders, and certainly not trust them to have our best interest in mind.
    I am not accusing any leader in particular, or even leaders as a whole. It is simply that in an egoistic world, where people vie to topple one another on their way to the top, the one at the top is clearly the one who trampled over and knocked down more people than anyone else. Concisely, to get to the top in an egoistic world you have to be the biggest egoist.
    So how do we know whom to trust? We don’t know and we cannot know. All we know is that we are in the dark.
    In a culture of unhinged selfishness, any conspiracy theory seems reasonable, while truth is nowhere to be found. When every person who says or writes something is trying to promote some hidden agenda, you have no way of knowing who is right, what really happened, or if anything happened at all.
    The only way to get some clarity in the news and goodwill from our leaders is to say “Enough!” to our current system and build something entirely independent. The guiding principle of such a system should be “information only,” no commentary. Commentary means that information has already been skewed. Information means saying only what happened, as much as possible, not why, and not who is to blame and who we should praise.
    Concurrently, we must begin a comprehensive process of self-teaching. We have to know not only what is happening, but why we skew and distort everything. In other words, we have to know about human nature and how it inherently presents matters according to its own subjective view, which caters to one’s own interest. To “clear” ourselves from that deformity, we must learn how to rise above our personal interest and develop an equally favorable attitude toward others. This is our only guarantee that our interpretation of things will be even and correct.
    Once we achieve such an attitude, we will discover that the bad things we see in our world reflect our own, internal wickedness. Our ill-will toward others creates a world where ill-will governs, and so the world is filled with wickedness and cruelty. Therefore, all we need in order to create positive leadership-and to generally eliminate ill-will from the world-is to generate goodwill within us. When we nurture goodwill toward others, we will fill the world with goodwill. As a result, the world will fill with kindness and compassion. By changing ourselves, we will create a world that is opposite from the world we have created through our desires to govern, patronize, and often destroy other people.

    DPD is proper slave labour. I work in the warehouse for one week. They work you like a slave for about £7 to £12 an hour.

    Too much of patriotism killed two boys .🇲🇭🇲🇲🇲🇭🇲🇫🇮🇹
    Just now in Tamil Nadu india,
    Today two small boys are battling for life in a hospital here after a electric shock wire touch because these two boys responding a call by India prime minister to hang a national flag 75 anniversary.
    🇧🇦🇧🇦🇦🇲🏳️‍🌈🇦🇹🇮🇹🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇱🇲🇭🇲🇫🇲🇭🇲🇲
    A christian must keep away himself from too much of patriotism.
    Indian PRIME MINISTER modi is advising his people or country to a flag 75 anniversary.( Freedom from British)( but I wish if BRITISH rules even now I might be married or well settled with job or a business or agriculture lands )
    But I am not going to mind it or hang any flags upon my houses ,,
    BECAUSE jesus is my victory flag
    Jesus is my Trumphant flag
    Jesus is our victory flag
    Prayer or righteousness are our weapons.🙏👍👍🙏🙏🙏

    *What is the Gospel?*
    The true gospel is the good news that God saves sinners. Man is by nature sinful and separated from God with no hope of remedying that situation. But God, by His power, provided the means of man’s redemption in the death, burial, and resurrection of the Savior, Jesus Christ.
    Ephesians 2:8-9
    For it is by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of GOD, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
    Romans 10:9
    9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved
    REPENT OF YOUR SINS Just Believe ❤️ Love you and GOD BLESS
