Dear Colleague


Royal Mail/CWU Summit Meeting 17 December 2012


Further to LTB929/12, which set out our key agenda items for the RM/CWU Summit Meeting, we can confirm that the meeting duly took place yesterday and considered the emerging differences between the Union and the company.


The meeting lasted the whole day and there was a full, frank and challenging exchange of views on all the issues tabled by each party.


The meeting concluded with the parties agreeing, on a without prejudice basis, that major national talks will now commence immediately in the New Year, to address all the agenda items that have been tabled.


In addition, the company made it clear that they were prepared to prioritise and urgently address allegations of bullying and harassment in delivery and Assistant Secretary, Bob Gibson, will report separately to branches later this week, on how the Union intend to take this matter forward.


Prior to Christmas a further meeting will take place with Royal Mail to structure and prioritise these National talks with an appropriate timeline for conclusion.


The outcome of this will be reported to the Postal Executive in the New Year and a further LTB will then be issued providing more detail on the Union’s objectives and also Royal Mail’s agenda for the forthcoming talks.

Any enquiries on this LTB should be addressed to the DGS (P) Department.


Yours sincerely


Dave Ward
Deputy General Secretary (P)

Once again nothing ,,,

[fishtank]

Once again nothing ,,,

To be fair what did you expect from a one day meeting?
Royal Mail were hardly likely to hold there hands up to everything and agree to any and all demands the CWU put forward.
Having said that some details would have been nice...

I want to know what they want because they will want something.
And these talks have to be as short as possible,not the 4 month saga in 2010.
I can't be arsed with that again.

at least royal mail have agreed to look at the problem of bullying by managers as a matter of urgency, i hate all this negativity about the CWU, they are trying in the face of an employer who wants to privitise the industry, to get things done, and one thing stands out to me as a postie with 35 years experience, now is the time, TO DO THE JOB PROPERLY AND THEN.....GO HOME!!

I've worked for unionized and non-unionized companies. Even where the union is weak, conditions are miles ahead of non-unionized.
