LTB posted today.....

No. 867/2009
Ref. 60000
Date: 2nd October 2009

TO: ALL BRANCHES WITH POSTAL MEMBERS

Dear Colleague

Update on Royal Mail Dispute

Talks continued this week covering a resolution to current local disputes and all the issues associated with Phase 4 of the Pay and Modernisation Agreement and our National Industrial Action Ballot.

Further meetings have been arranged for next week.

In the meantime Branches should refocus their efforts over the final few days of the ballot to ensure we maximise support for a Yes Vote.

Further developments will be reported in due course.

----------------------------------------

So does that mean we are getting somewhere, or should we be upping the pressure on RM to the next level?

Agrree.

Our Union have to show back bone from the top down, if they don't do it this time, (and assuming we still have a Union at the end of it) we as members must put forward new faces.
