ROYAL MAIL GROUP DISPUTE – AN UPDATE TO CWU MEMBERS

Please find attached a document that gives members and branches an update on Royal Mail Group’s financial position, the negotiations that have taken place and the future of the company.

We felt it was crucial for the union to set out our positions ahead of Royal Mail Group updating the markets tomorrow.
We ask all branches to ensure this document is given the widest possible circulation.

We will also be holding national gate meeting day on Tuesday 22nd November and a reps brief will be shared ahead of this.
Branches will be aware that the recent Joint Statement stated that negotiations would continue until the 15th November. We have made clear to the company that we are willing to continue talks through to the 22nd November and they have told us that they also want to continue negotiating, after their update to the markets tomorrow.

In addition to the communications contained in this LTB we will be giving a further and fuller update to field officials, branches, reps and members on the status of negotiations later this week. It is important you convey to our members that the update on negotiations will be separate to this communication.

The CWU remains committed to reaching an agreement and we will do everything possible to deliver this ahead of next week’s strike action.
We must be crystal clear though – unless the company move significantly towards the union on a range of issues, the prospect of achieving an agreement quickly is unlikely.

The job of every single branch, representative and member of the union now is to build for the strike action planned for 24th,25th and 30th November and the 1st December.

Intensive talks with the CWU continue to try and reach agreement

On 7 November 2022, we entered intensive talks with the CWU to reach an agreement on the current pay and change dispute.

The talks, which had been scheduled to conclude on 15 November, are continuing to allow more time for a resolution to be reached. But time is tight given the notified strikes starting on 24 November.

If these strikes go ahead, they will cause more damage to the business and make our improved 9% pay offer over two years less affordable.
We will update as soon as we have more news.

So we’re not much further ahead with the talks than before

Complete set up to fail..I've seen agency workers in RM vans delivering small packets on a business round I cover..Don't fall for their propaganda they're making their next calculated move..ALL OUT

The frightening thing is most RM workers will never read this sort of communication. Blissfully ignorant until the axe falls.

[Hyrrokkin]

Sick and tired of this s**t - RM are taking the piss and the CWU are enabling them

Massive ALL OUT strike action all through December

Enough is enough

So after the 30 day consultation period, which is just a formality, they can legally go ahead with redundancy. Things moving at pace, except the cwu.

But you are taking my area supplement of £20 away which amounts to 4.3% of my wage. Please stop lying to us and trying to pull the wool over our eyes.

[postieblueshirt]

the trouble is a lot of opg's want the redundancy so as long as its voluntery

[hans solo]

Not at 9months settlement they don’t
And why locally were we advised by area rep we had to go into 1-1 talks re redundancies

I've still got that consignia edition of the courier if you didn't manage to get one for your collection? The price will keep going up the closer RM gets to oblivion though!
