it will not be for a few weeks, to allow Branches and Units to digest the Agreement etc

Can someone just confirm what i heard this morning in our delivery office. Word was going round that we're not getting a vote on this agreement. Apparently the person who was claiming this had received or seen a letter from the union. I hope this is B*llsh*t.

There will be one final attempt by HQ at getting the government to meet its obligation on the Pension Fund now that a recommendation to accept the Agreement has come from HQ and PEC. The timescale is short, especially if a May election is called.

Well HQ are going to have to do this, and get a positive reply, before we vote on this agreement. It may be the one thing that will persuade members in delivery offices to vote reluctantly for it. As things stand at the moment, we're struggling to find any positive feedback in our DO :sad:
