CWU BALLOT TIMETABLE FOR AGREEMENT

CWU can now confirm the ballot timetable for the proposed agreement with Royal Mail on pay and modernisation is as follows:

Ballot papers to be dispatched from Friday 9th November.

Ballot closes on Tuesday 27th November.

In setting out this timetable, the union has had to take into account the current backlog of mail that is still affecting some areas of the country. This is a one member one vote ballot. This ballot does not cover pensions which will be dealt with in a separate consultation and ballot.

The result of the ballot will be announced as soon as possible

The stuff about a separate ballot on pensions is crap.
The separate ballot and consultation it refers to is the ballot by the pension fund which includes everyone who is a member - managers, non-CWU members etc. We should be having a ballot on the CWU-RM agreement on pensions. Since we are not being given one, it is an additional reason for voting no in thhis ballot - it is the only way of expressing dissatisfaction with the pensions agreement.
