Dear Colleagues

Branches and representatives will be aware that LTB 420/16 communicated a Joint Statement in relation to The Deployment of Gravity Rollers for Large Parcel Sorting in The Mail Centre Network. Notification was subsequently provided via LTB 478/16 that an additional 12 Mail Centres were to also be supplied with this equipment.

The business has now informed the department that funding has been secured to further extend the standard method developed in Peterborough Mail Centre to other sites. Attached at Annex A for the information of Branches and representatives are the details in respect of the affected Mail Centres, that has been provided by the business in relation to this activity.

Deployment is due to commence imminently and will take place on a rolling basis at the sites listed in the attached Annex A. The business has informed the department that they will ensure the local CWU are involved in the deployment activity.

Representatives should therefore ensure that the full terms of the agreement for deployment are adhered to, that timely local negotiations take place with management and that CWU IR Representatives, Engineering and H&S Reps are fully involved in all aspects of the planning for and actual deployment of the required new arrangements.

Any enquiries in relation to this LTB should be addressed to Davie Robertson, Assistant Secretary, email: dwyatt@cwu.org or shayman@cwu.org quoting reference number: 711.02
