Letter to Branches









No. 712/07
Ref 60000
Date: 8 August 2007




TO: ALL BRANCHES WITH POSTAL MEMBERS







Dear Colleague



ROYAL MAIL DISPUTE



We understand there has been a further Royal Mail briefing this morning covering a letter sent to me by Adam Crozier at 18:40 yesterday evening.



Royal Mail's briefing also stated that strike action had been suspended. This is not true.



We have all seen these Royal Mail tactics before. They are deliberately designed to mislead the workforce and undermine Union support. During this period we can also expect Royal Mail to make further concessions direct to he workforce in an attempt to disguise the weakening of their position.



Despite Royal Mail's lack of integrity and Union-busting tactics, the CWU continues to make every effort to resolve this dispute. Please ensure the latest situation is communicated accurately to all members in every workplace.



The Latest Situation



1. The CWU's response to Royal Mail's latest letter is attached.



2. Both parties have sought the assistance of the TUC in an effort to move the dispute forward. This development is being considered by the Postal Executive later today and further information will be sent out in due course.



In the meantime - for the purpose of total clarity - strike action continues unless notified in writing by CWU Headquarters.



Yours sincerely


Dave Ward

Deputy General Secretary (P)

    It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

    The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

    Our 'Manager' said they are back in talks and the strikes may be called off. The thing is that I don't think he was lying, I think that is what he was told. I don't think there is a secret agenda among managers to try and get us to break the strikes, I think they are being played like the rest of us.

    You are probably right there Spedley, but the rule of thumb in these situations is to take what Royal Mail say with a pinch of salt, and then wait until the Union announce the official line.

    My bet is this board will know pretty quick when anything happens.
