Royal Mail's proposal to the CWU in October /Achim's letter to Terry

[Edward Hunter]

Has the USO for letters been maintained at 6 days a week, or is that something else that will be thrown in the melting pot at a later date (probably just as revisions are being implemented)

[luddite]

Big changes at our office, new duty structures, start times etc. It will be a LOCAL agreement. I've been a rep here, almost lost my mind challenging four managers, others have tried also. Area rep.....
Is it better to vote yes or no?

any news on whether wallington 1 in 6 are to be removed are not could cause a lot of problems with people putting there holidays in for this year

Martin Walsh says you can keep your innovative duty patterns

But only if you fight for them and even then they pull the plug on you been there seen it that is why we lapse!

CWU and RML have no authority over the USO, it stays at six days until such time as parliament agrees to any legislation that the government wish to table. Government are in no hurry to change the USO and my understanding is they will leave it alone unless asked to alter it by RML at which point they will consider the request.

If parliament were to agree to a 5 day USO then the CWU and RML would have to sit down and negotiate around that new reality to agree new attendance patterns and also a new operational work plan on a Saturday.
