The CWU has today announced that the postal strikes planned for Friday 6th November and Monday 9th November have been called off.
CWU and Royal Mail have reached an interim agreement that was unanimously agreed by the union's Postal Executive today.
The interim agreement will provide a period of calm for the CWU and Royal Mail to reach a full and final agreement. The interim agreement guarantees that modernisation will be introduced with agreed job security and improved terms and conditions for postal workers. It also addresses all the issues included in the long running local disputes.
The strike ballot remains in place.
Dave Ward, CWU deputy general secretary, said: "There needs to be exceptional efforts to improve trust and relationships between CWU and Royal Mail. As a result both TUC and ACAS will have a continuing role to keep the discussions and agreement on track."
The details of the agreement are embargoed until 12noon Friday 6th November 2009.

CWU STATEMENT
I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
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.

Re: CWU STATEMENT
I have a very bad feeling about this, this is a ploy by the RM to string it out until after Christmas and then walk away, before the ballot, they did just that, IIRC on this forum, the Management simply dictated what they wanted and no discussion whatsoever, the discussion itself only came in once the ballot result was out.
Negotiate from a position of strength.
part of me is hoping it was a hoax by a hacker.

VR for me if that's the case, I rather take my chances outside than in.
