Sometimes downloads from M£crosoft can be a bit slow though .

No. 982/09 Ref: Date: 6th November 2009


TO: ALL BRANCHES WITH POSTAL MEMBERS


Dear Colleagues

ROYAL MAIL DISPUTE – INTERIM AGREEMENT

The Postal Executive, yesterday, unanimously endorsed the attached agreement. It is important that we now tell our members that the strength of their support for strike action has brought us to this position.

We should also tell our members that is was right to suspend strike action. We have always promised our members that we would not take unnecessary strike action.

We would like to thank all of our activists for your hard work and support during this difficult time. We would also like you to pass on our thanks to our members for their strength and solidarity during the ballot and the strikes.

The interim agreement clearly outlines how the full and final agreement will be shaped. It is also clear that Royal Mail have made significant concessions in the bitter long running local disputes. We must now use the strength of the agreement for local reps to re-engage and reach local agreements.

At national level it is essential we now focus our efforts on reaching a final agreement that delivers benefits to our members, customers and the company. This has always been and remains our primary objective.

In line with Royal Mail’s record of misinformation, the company tried last night to position the agreement purely around the achievement of a strike free Christmas. We want a strike free Christmas and a strike free New Year, but the agreement is explicit in recognising that this is dependant upon significant progress being made. The addition of an independent chair for the discussions means that the level of progress will be independently measured at fortnightly intervals to ensure both parties continue to work towards the final agreement. Nobody will be allowed to walk away from the agreement.

Royal Mail has also accepted that the national ballot and all local ballots remain enacted.

In recent weeks and days - even whilst negotiations were taking place at the highest level - Royal Mail continued to deliberately confuse the situation. Now the interim agreement will be backed up by an independent process, Royal Mail’s behaviour is no longer sustainable.

Additionally, the clear up arrangements, discipline and issues around people being taken off pay are dealt with in a stronger way than they have been historically. We know that trust cannot be rebuilt overnight but both parties have a responsibility to work towards it.





All members will receive a direct communication to their home addresses at the end of next week to explain all developments and how we intend to take all these issues forward. There will also be a National Briefing on Friday 13th November. Details for the briefing will follow.

Yours sincerely



Dave Ward Billy Hayes Martin Collins
Deputy General Secretary (P) General Secretary Assistant Secretary

Ray Ellis Andy Furey Bob Gibson

Terry Pullinger Kevin Slocombe

We've been so pre occupied with the deal or no deal shininagans,we forgot to notice that it has been 3 months since our last strike action.........oops
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.
