LTB 239/13 - Royal Mail Letters - Pay Update


No. 239/13
Ref: 21003
Date: 12th April 2013




To: All Branches with Postal Members




Dear Colleague




Royal Mail Letters – Pay Update


At this weeks Postal Executive meeting the following was confirmed as our pay claim due from April 1st 2013:



A straightforward above inflation basic pay rise, for at least 2 years, that is pensionable and flows through to all allowances.



A proper share in the ongoing profits of the company through new bonus arrangements and a replacement for ColleagueShare.



A major review of overtime and scheduled attendance arrangements to significantly improve all hourly rates.


· Progress on outstanding Annual Conference pay policy.


After initially agreeing to resolve pay by the 1st April 2013, Royal Mail are now insisting that they will not make an offer until outstanding Transformation issues are resolved and there is clarity from the Union over support for their future plans.


CWU do not accept the company’s position and are determined to achieve a settlement that genuinely rewards our members for their efforts in turning around the financial position of the company. Pay will feature in meetings with the company planned for next week.


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


Yours sincerely




Dave Ward
Deputy General Secretary (P)
