Next round of pay talk

[Darren Bent]

Will there be a nice round of pay talk for 2011 for pay rise, pay cut, bonus and blackmail this year between CWU and Royal Mail. Is this delayed until next year ?

No - no pay talks this year as the 2011 rise was decided in the BT2010 deal - Also agreed was the 2012 pay deal but apparently both sides can go back and discuss it.

2011 - 1.4% increase

2012 - 3.5% increase (re-opener clause)

re-opener clause,,, where did that come from, it was not in the 2010 agreement.......

Yes it was.

Approach to third year basic pay review
Both parties are approaching the future with a positive expectation that deployment of this agreement will ensure that transformation is delivered, leading to an improvement in company performance and a successful and sustainable future for the organisation.
Given this, there will be an increase in pensionable pay, overtime and allowances of 3.5%. This will be revisited if the average RPI for January to March 2012 is outside the expected range of 2%-3%.
Both parties also recognise that there is uncertainty in the commercial environment that may affect the business in either a positive or negative way. Against this background it is recognised that there should be flexibility to reopen this element of the agreement in response to unforeseen events which have a significant impact on the business and its employees.

Ah yes, just like those other two famous lines:

We have managed to de couple the pension from the negotiations......followed by the shafting AND
Deal of the Century.............followed by yet another shafting

and now..................3.5% may be revisited ...................followed by

1.4% on full time basic pay = an extra £4.96
don`t spend it all at once

[rmdriver]

1.4 f%%kin percent. what an insult. VAT alone has increased 2.5% and everything else energy,petrol,food etc is rising quicker than 1.4 measly percent. This country is a f**kin joke. :dcfo :ncfo :vcfo

Mother in law who works for the local authority told me at the w/e that she's got a pay freeze for 4 years!
They told her and her colleagues like it or lump it.

Food for thought?
