World Class Mail - Commencement Phase 5

[Geezer]

Dear Colleague

World Class Mail

The Indoor Department has received a number of enquiries over the last few days seeking guidance on the CWU Policy in relation to World Class Mail. I understand that a number of Mail Centre Managers from around the Country that are due to commence Phase 5 of WCM, were trained last week which has probably resulted in an increase in enquiries concerning this issue.

In view of this, I have decided for clarity to re-issue the information that was previously communicated by the DGS(P) in March this year. Our position remains unchanged and was reaffirmed by the Postal Executive only this morning, which is as follows:

CWU Response

Given Royal Mail’s failure to adhere to the agreed approach to World Class Mail, we will suspend forthwith all involvement in the future roll out of WCM, until such time that all of our concerns are addressed. In existing WCM sites we will advise members that they should honour their contracts of employment, but should not become involved in any work outside of their contract and or in conflict with other existing National Agreements. We will also insist that the company provide the Union with detailed information on all the costs and anticipated savings associated with the World Class Mail project.

In line with Conference Policy on Emergency Motion E3, we are engaging with the employer concerning the way in which WCM is presently being deployed and when a solution has been found we will communicate this accordingly.

Yours sincerely


JOE MALONE
ACTING ASSISTANT SECRETARY

These clowns talk of "world class mail", I ask you.

The Union needs to show a bit more leadership regarding wcm. Some staff and members are getting away with blue murder. We all know that wcm is a farce just to try and make the company look good so it can be sold off. The amount of money spend compared to what improvements have been made is a joke.

[sheff postie]

Does this mean the union reps are not to be involved in this?
Does this also include H&S reps? Ours say's that H&S have to be involved in it.

Looks like a national directive to me,but that's not to say that "some" union reps and other assorted ass-kissers won't go along with the WCM joke.
Some for an easy life,others just to brown nose as normal....I'm sure plenty of you know where im coming from...

[pink panther]

How any trade unionist gets involved in this farce defies belief.

Is it true that no mail was despatched yestersday fromGMC due to the Prof. being in attendance??

The RM management are determined to get this 'TUG' running about the mail centre

The Profs. pay from RM using WCM is an alleged £2million apparentley its £4k per mail centre

[POSTMAN]

There was late running stuff from Edinburgh MC according to customer services.

thehappyones, you might be right there. In best WCM form, I present what might be the truth.....

[thehappyones]

Brilliant!! Donk, and the sad thing is its not that far away from the truth.
All these people that are 'doing' WCM are not getting the overtime anymore ,but are getting 'toil' instead ,allegedly why dont they ask them to do it in their own time and see how many still embrace it.
or why dosen't everyone get involved with it and see what happens!!

[Tman]

Always seems like WCM is a real big problem for those who aren't actually involved with it...

Or maybe the people who CHOOSE not to be involved because they can see what it's really all about-job cuts,and mutual backslapping?

Bit like saying the only people who had a problem with the Nazi party were those not invited to join?!!

[Tman]

You've just reinforced the exact point I was making. Thanks Hubbs...

[blue1873]

So "Tman"you reckon RM=Nazi Party ? (not a bad call that.....not a bad call) imo.

[human1]

"World Class Mail"...... does it apply on Delivery Offices ?
