This has appeared on the Union web site dated 12th November but I think they mean 12th December .................. ah well.

TO: ALL BRANCHES WITH POSTAL MEMBERS


Dear Colleague,

Royal Mail – Bullying and Harassment of Postal Workers

In the last 24 hours branches would have seen the wide ranging media coverage of stories relating to the unfair treatment and pressure being placed upon CWU members. This relates to our members being asked to achieve totally unrealistic targets and performance levels whilst on delivery, through the imposition of an unagreed revision tool (Pegasus/Georoute).

The Union highlighted Royal Mail’s general behaviour in a letter to members a few weeks ago and this is further confirmation that Royal Mail’s current approach to our members is unacceptable.

As previously reported we will be holding a joint meeting next week of the PEC and our Divisional Representatives and this issue will be on the agenda alongside the development of a policy of non-cooperation with Royal Mail’s unrealistic budget cuts. Following this meeting we will be sending a letter to home addresses advising our members of how the Union intends to tackle this problem.

In the meantime branches and representatives are encouraged to take every opportunity to get our members’ concerns across in local media. Further assistance in this regard will be communicated early next week.

Please ensure the content of this LtB is widely circulated.

Further information will be sent out in due course.

Yours sincerely



Dave Ward Bob Gibson
Deputy General Secretary (P) Assistant Secretary
