Nothing can be done until the takeover bid is finished.

I believe the union are in just now negotiating.
They're was a delay due to the Romanian parliament.
That's been sorted now.
Union believe the take over will happen which is only 2 weeks away now. Then 3-4 weeks of paperwork and shareholders to get their money.
Id say we'll get our new pay deal in about June back-dated to April.

There's no way the CWU operate so quickly, October is more realistic (if it happens at all) then backdated 6 months, like always.

I wonder how much Dave Ward and co had as a pay rise this April or last April? Not that it matters much when you are paid over 160K salary anyway.

Pretty sure there will be one otherwise they'll still be paying our salary sacrifices.

Our negotiations will cover the following:
1. A pay agreement.
2. Equalising New entrants' Pay, terms and conditions over an agreed period with the first step occurring within three months of the transaction.
3. A new career path.
4. A plan to reduce agency.
5. Addressing overtime and scheduled attendance rates.
6. Improving sick pay arrangements.
7. Reaching an improved voluntary redundancy package.
8. Agree on a new incentive scheme based on local/plant measures.
9. Introducing pilots on new ways of working, including mechanisms to allow postal workers to have more say over day-to-day operations and workload management. This will include, but is not limited to, piloting a more supportive way of utilising the “my performance app” application and any data.


Oh, great.

Commencing Pay Negotiations and Section 5 of the EP Agreement
Commencing Pay Negotiations and Section 5 of the EP Agreement

We can confirm that we will commence negotiations on 29th April in accordance with the EP Agreement Rebuilding Royal Mail on Pay and resolving outstanding issues in Section 5. Our negotiations will cover the following:

A pay agreement.
Equalising New entrants’ Pay, terms and conditions over an agreed period with the first step occurring within three months of the transaction.
A new career path.
A plan to reduce agency.
Addressing overtime and scheduled attendance rates.
Improving sick pay arrangements.
Reaching an improved voluntary redundancy package.
Agree on a new incentive scheme based on local/plant measures.
Introducing pilots on new ways of working, including mechanisms to allow postal workers to have more say over day-to-day operations and workload management. This will include, but is not limited to, piloting a more supportive way of utilising the “my performance app” application and any data.
Our aim is to reach an agreement covering the above by 14th May, which would be subject to the endorsement of the Postal Executive. We plan to present this at a Special Briefing of our Senior Feld Officials and Branch leaders on 21st and 22nd May. Then, it will be subject to an individual member ballot. Any agreement will not come into force until EP becomes the sole controlling shareholder and the company is delisted.

We will provide further updates in due course.

Any enquiries to this LTB should be referred to the DGS(P) Department.

Yours sincerely,

Martin Walsh

Deputy General Secretary (Postal)

LTB 081/25 – Commencing Pay Negotiations and Section 5 of the EP Agreement
