Dear Bob
London Mayoral Election
You wrote this morning asking about the London election. The agreement we reached on 6 April 2005 remains in place and our delivery offices will be using it.
Ordinary poll cards which are presented to us sorted direct to the walk will attract the unit payment. Those which come in the normal post, with stamps or meter franked will not. I have heard that some poll cards might be posted via ‘down stream access’. These would not attract the unit payment as they would go in the normal mail. I’ll let you know if I can get more information about which areas might get DSA poll cards.
We have won the tender to deliver the booklet for the London election which takes place on 1 May. A total of 5.4m will be posted as addressed Walksort2 items and we expect despatches to commence out of YDC on 16 April. The booklet should weigh about 90g. The mailing has not yet been printed as the list of candidates closes this week, however assuming it falls within the scope of our agreement then it will attract the unit payment.
Let me know if you need anything more and I can put you in touch with the experts. I’ve spoken with colleagues in West London and they were very clear about the national agreement, so I guess there was a misunderstanding.
Yours sincerely

Dear Dale,
London Mayoral Elections and UK Local Elections
Thank you for your letter of 28th March.
I welcome your confirmation that our 2005 agreement remains in force in respect of the delivery of election material. I am, however, baffled as to how you can claim that this means that poll cards that happen to come through Downstream access channels are not eligible for payment.
Section 2 of that agreement says “This agreement covers all addressed and un-addressed free election communications marked “ELECTION COMMUNICATIONâ€

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Got a copy of a emial sent to doms in my Area dated 9th April
Poll Cards
Many of you have contacted me regarding the position on DSA Poll Cards:do they attract a unit payment ? the current business position is that we DO NOT pay for the delivery of Poll cards that have been posted as DSA. Dale has written to the CWU confirming this position,but expects a challenge back. The important point to emphasis is that they must be delivered-its not an option ro refuse to deliver them.
TRY NOT PAYING US AND NO GLA ELECTION MATERIAL WILL BE DELIVERED.
