I can't really see the issue here?

Then why is it for every company you do business with, you can opt out of receiving post from them?

But getting post at home, and calling it propoganda is really just 'bear baiting' and trying to find an excuse to fall out with your employer;

Why? It is harassment just like any other type.

You are in a consumer - business relationship with them. Your relationship of employment is different.

You still have not clarified what type of post you are getting from them, and why you have such a problem with it?

Why is it harassment? Is the post abusive or threatening, or does it leave you fearing for your safety?

Maybe because they enable you to pay your bills? And without them you would not be in such a position?

Suggest they go green, as in my earlier post.

Then you may find they have more respect for you than they would if you continue to call standard mailouts "propoganda".

I really don't get what the problem is either... I used to get all sorts of stuff from my employer and also Union stuff that was unsolicited but I either read it (if interested) or binned it if not... why can you not just do that?

Staff magazine, other non-essentila staff communications etc.

Because I do not want to be bothered by or read about work when I am off duty in my own home.

The best example of this that I once had was when ntl went into administration (or whatever they call it in the US!). They sent out the huge ream of bankruptcy papers (the size of a lever arch folder) to every current and ex employee ... and from the US! The size of the postage bill would have been enough to bankrupt most companies! x

It doesn't have to be abusive or threatening to be harassment.

So do as others have said. Throw it away.

You also need to stop calling it harassment (or at least learn what the word really means). It is no such thing.

You clearly have a much bigger problem with your employer than this. I would look at addressing that, rather than picking at silly little things like this.
