hope this helps

E3 was next up and this Motion stated that if there was no change to the ideology of Royal Mails Management team then a national postal dispute was inevitable. Whilst this is not ideal we have no choice other than to defend our members and our fundamental trade union right to negotiate and agree major change. The motion called for a Moratorium on Industrial action for 3 months to allow meaningful national negotiations and achieve agreement on modernisation, commitment to agree a new improved job security package (MTSF), commitment to an improved pay and benefits package and earnings incorporating this year's pay claim, commitment to agreements on the New Delivery Model, Mail Centre Network and weekend Network, commitment to agree a new industrial Relations Framework Etc.

Mail Centre closure issues and all the other current I.R problems are all part of this emergency motion, we want satisfaction for the industrial action that has already taken place by our members so far, and something where Royal Mail will agree to look at this. This Motion does not rule out a ballot.
Royal Mail are bypassing our union at every opportunity, they are approaching members direct on voluntary redundancy terms and this is wrong, the way they have abused the flexibility terms of the pay and modernisation agreement, these issues need addressing. We are up for Modernisation and the future of our business but we are not up for the way they have treated our union and our members. They do not want our members to get on with each other, they want our members divided so they can steamroller their methods in with little resistance.

Emergency Motion 3

Conference agrees that given no progress was made at a meeting with Royal Mail on the 3rd June over the company’s current approach and future plans, we have now reached the stage where unless there is a change in the ideology of Royal Mail’s senior management team, then a national postal dispute is inevitable.

Whilst such a scenario is not ideal and may complicate the ‘Keep The Post Public’ campaign, Conference agrees the Union has no choice other than to defend our members and our fundamental Trade Union right to negotiate and agree major change.

Therefore, Conference agrees to implement the following policies which are designed to give Royal Mail a final opportunity to bring about the successful transformation of the business before major industrial conflict becomes necessary.

Moratorium
We will seek an agreement or a 3 month Moratorium on industrial action and managerial executive action to create the right environment for meaningful national negotiations to achieve agreement on modernisation.

The Moratorium will include the following:-

A joint Royal Mail/CWU vision of what modernisation really means.
An immediate resolution to all outstanding issues, relating to Mail Centre closures that have already been announced.
An immediate resolution to all the issues associated with the current industrial action ballots.
An agreed agenda for national negotiations including:-
- Commitment to agree a new improved job security package with a review of MTSF to ensure we have a package that will help employees deal with the scale of change envisaged throughout the transformation programme

- Commitment to an improved pay and benefits package and earnings incorporating this year’s pay claim and prioritising the urgent need to make progress on the Union’s Shorter Working Week policy

- Commitment to necessary operational change and reaching acceptable agreements on the Delivery Blue Print/New Delivery Model, the Mail Centre Network and Network 09 and weekend Network

- Commitment to agree a new Industrial Relations Framework and a fresh start on employee relations to ensure there is unity of purpose on the future direction of the company

§ An agreed procedure to deal with local flashpoints that supports the spirit of the Moratorium.

§ Agreed ground rules covering how local offices will deal with day to day operational challenges during the Moratorium

§ A renewed commitment to honour all existing national agreements, bringing to an end Royal Mail’s abuse of voluntary redundancy procedures, flexibility and resourcing practises.

Industrial Action/Non Co-operation with Royal Mail
Until such time as agreement is reached, as outlined in Para 1 above, the Union’s policy of non co-operation with Royal Mail’s budget savings and revisions will continue to be enforced.

In the meantime, Conference recognises that the company’s unacceptable attacks on local jobs and conditions has resulted in growing requests for local ballots and will mean that the Union will increasingly be notifying the Royal Mail of industrial action. The Postal Executive will continue to support all local industrial action requests associated with these management attacks.

Furthermore, if we cannot make acceptable progress on the policy contained in this Emergency Motion by the 2nd July, then Conference recognises that the Postal Executive will have no alternative other than to publish a timetable for nationwide industrial action ballot(s).

Galvanising Membership Support
Immediately following Annual Conference and with the support of the Postal Executive and Divisional Reps every branch will be expected to draw up an action plan, which will involve holding workplace meetings explaining the policies contained in this Emergency Motion to all Members

A communications pack will be designed to support Branches and local representatives and ensure that at all times the Union’s policy is conveyed through consistent key messages.

Emergency Motion 3 was carried. As a consequence of the carriage of this motion an number of other motions fell.
