Current Status of Ballot Requests - Processing & Distributio

[Geezer]

Dear Colleague

Please see the attached status report for your information which details
the ballot requests that have been received in respect of Processing and
Distribution Members supporting the National Policy to bring Royal Mail
to the negotiating table to discuss and agree National Agreements on all
aspects of Pay and Modernisation across our industry.

I trust this will help you to plan and encourage other members to follow
their lead.

Regards

Martin Collins
Assistant Secretary
