Supernumerary to Redeployment Pool the next step (update* now ACAS approved)

Post by 2chorizon »

Reading some posts on CWU facebook page, some employee's are asking what the union is saying about this "Redeployment pool" which is the next step for Supernumerarys,

Apparently you go in the Redeployment Pool and have to go for a one to one with someone from HR dept.

These people were from NWMMC & Mount Pleasant and claimed these 2 sites are trial sites for this.

Anyone heard anything in their locale?

No replies?

Well i'm afraid the Mount Pleasant bulletin has spilled the beans for the Supernumerary crowd:

Hi here is the Mount Pleasant bulletin of 31 May. Comments welcomed!

THE ONLY OPTION
Managers in Processing asked us to attend 1-to-1
meetings so that they could decide whether we're
"supernumerary"! They'd already announced their 3
options: (1) if we work more than 25 hours at the
moment, we lose all extra hours; (2) we remain on
contracted hours, but move to a different site, with a
different role; or (3) we take their unacceptable cutrate
VR! Obviously option (4) is missing: NONE OF
THE ABOVE!

LET'S VISIT UNION HQ?!
The 1-to-1 meetings were supposed to be finished this
week. And new duties are meant to be implemented
by mid-June. But now the "interviews" have been
paused until next week. So what's happened? We're
told there've been further discussions between
managers and union officials. Yet we've no idea
what's been discussed or what will happen next. Even
union reps are left in the dark...

WHAT WE WANT IS FULL-TIME!
Management not only want to put all part-timers on 25
hours, but they also said that they want to halve our
number in some areas! Yes, just when the company
has hit the headlines for missing its delivery targets!
And we all know it's not just due to them prioritising
parcels, but their deliberate, systematic job cuts...
10,000 of us, already gone!

THEIR JUSTICE, NOT OURS
And what does ACAS (supposedly providing
"impartial" arbitration!) tell us about management's
latest round of attacks? That it's all "perfectly legal",
since management is not forcing compulsory
redundancies on us, nor cutting our contracted hours,
but very kindly offering us "suitable employment
alternatives"!

THE CORRECT ANSWERS
So, first, using the argument of "perfect legality" is
utter nonsense. The law is an ass, weighted against
workers. Second, compulsory redundancies are
coming in, in 2025 (according to RM/Ward's proposed
"agreement"!). Third, the "suitable employment
alternatives" actually force workmates to leave (it's
compulsory redundancy by another name!), because
they're moved into duties which they physically just
cannot do.
