STATEMENT TO BE READ OUT TO ALL CWU MEMBERS ON BEHALF OF THE POSTAL EXECUTIVE

The issues involved in this ballot are fundamental to your future and the future of the company.

Everybody is affected.

We are committed to building a modern and successful Royal Mail. This requires properly negotiated national agreements – not management diktat.

All we want is for you to be treated fairly. We need a shared vision of modernisation that is in your interests and the interests of the public and business communities – not just the company.

In recent months we have tried every conceivable angle to avoid the current situation.

In January we wrote to the Chief Executive following the criticisms contained in the Hooper Report and offered a fresh start on industrial relations – this was rejected by the company.

We have offered several no strike guarantees if Royal Mail would negotiate change and step back from arbitrary job cuts – all these offers were declined.

We want agreed work standards. We have offered independent measurement of workloads to ensure a fair day’s work for a fair day’s pay – this has been rejected by the company.

Given the increasing and unfair pressure our members are being placed under we have called for an independent enquiry into bullying and harassment of postal workers – this has been rejected by the company.

These are the actions of an unreasonable employer. We cannot afford to leave Royal Mail to its own devices – services and jobs will be destroyed forever.
The union remains determined to secure a settlement through negotiation. The current industrial action and the threat of a national ballot has finally brought Royal Mail to the negotiating table. We continue to work hard for an agreement and we are making progress. Only a YES vote in this national ballot will
maintain the pressure and secure a fair and just settlement.

It is a fundamental right for you and your union to have a say over the future of this industry and your jobs – vote YES for a fairer future.
