CWU anyone out there ?

[hans solo]

No point in voting, it gets rigged and pushed through anyway

I actually believe that would be the case if vote went against

[Valentina@1]

When’s this pay announcement?

Yep

Something has to change within the CWU as this has become normalised over the past few years, despite the company being in new hands now.
To announce a groundbreaking deal 6 months ago with EP group and still have no pay increase isn't acceptable for the majority of staff.

You're absolutely correct. We are held to ransom by this current leadership under the guise its a democracy. It is not. Not in the real sense. It's self serving boys club who essentially all vote for one another to hold position. Any criticism is batted away or falls on deaf ears. The reality is they are not doing a very good job.

Pay increase is of paramount importance. It should have been done within days of the takeover. Anything else like VR's, levelling up contracts, section 5 stuff needs to be self funding and understandably takes time, but pay comes first.

Here is what they are negotiating over:

1. A pay agreement.
2. Equalising New entrants' Pay, terms and conditions over an agreed period with the first step occurring within three months of the transaction.
3. A new career path.
4. A plan to reduce agency.
5. Addressing overtime and scheduled attendance rates.
6. Improving sick pay arrangements.
7. Reaching an improved voluntary redundancy package.
8. Agree on a new incentive scheme based on local/plant measures.
9. Introducing pilots on new ways of working, including mechanisms to allow postal workers to have more say over day-to-day operations and workload management. This will include, but is not limited to, piloting a more supportive way of utilising the “my performance app” application and any data.

2 dates given where they hoped to reach a deal, 14 May, 5th June. Both passed.

It's not on.

I’m guessing no news. We need to know good or bad what’s happening. A shambles

[Valentina@1]

It’s now 11th….so much for 5th June deadline

[Peabrain22]

Always think the worst when it comes to this outfit .. I do... then you can't be disappointed..only company in the world not sorted a pay deal for their employees..they should be ashamed going home at night knowing they are useless..

Groundhog Day....

[Ren Hoëk]

The silence is deafening. Il expect resignations if they have f****d this.

[Valentina@1]

You trust Martin “mumble” Walsh in negotiations?

God help us

[Rommagic]

So quiet but they putting uso reform posters all over the walls at offices.

[Idk]

This is getting ridiculous now.its nearly 3 months since everyone else in the country had a raise.

[Valentina@1]

Maybe wards still trying to to expand roll of postal workers

How’s that going?
