SWW LTB:RM up to their old tricks again!
Dear Colleagues,
We are receiving reports that Royal Mail managers are attempting to move forward with the SWW despite there being NO nationally agreed guidelines or options for the introduction of the SWW from the 28th January 2013. This is despite the CWU fielding a number of documents (some prior the Christmas) to Royal Mail and arriving at a posiition last week where we thought there was only 1 sticking point. Since then Royal Mail have moved their position again. If Royal Mail attempt to introduce this without agreement this should be met with a disagreement, and Royal Mail informed that this is executive action and contrary to the BT2010 agreement. The SWW is being discussed by the Postal Executive today and will come to a decision which will be communicated to Branches later today.
Bob Gibson
Assistant Secretary

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.

Shorter Working Week.
How to introduce the 39 hour week into offices that have not yet had a revision.

No Bob If Royal Mail attempt to introduce this without agreement this should be met with the complete withdrawal from revision activity....nationwide.If Royal Mail attempt to introduce this without agreement this should be met with a disagreement, and Royal Mail informed that this is executive action and contrary to the BT2010 agreement.
It's time you told Royal Mail to piss off at senior level at the same time we do at junior level.
That way they might get the message that we are serious rather than pissing themselves laughing and picking us off one by one while you munch cucumber sandwiches with Higgo and Moya.
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

I agree, it's about time the Union started giving a bit back to RM what RM give us.

Well in fairness they do give something back, the empty cups, plates, winebottles all the unused paper napkins.
What a weak kneed response from Bob Gibson, tell them it's EA and go into disagreement - what a joke that guy is.

Re: SWW LTB:RM up to their old tricks again!
Just read the Managers brief pack about the SWW,oh yes they are planning to implement this with or without agreement on Monday 28th January.
So if talks fail tomorrow high chance they will !!! I do hope our National Officers grow a pair and without fail withdraw any co-operation with revisions or that World Class Mail.Otherwise how far do we have to be bent over to be shafted yet again.

• it was counterproductive and contrary to the aims of the initiative to use individual performance standards or one minute spot checks as a disciplinary tool.

Re: SWW LTB:RM up to their old tricks again!
Following full implementation, when all employees and managers are fully aware of the required performance standards, it is accepted by both parties that the use of the formal one-minute checks to evaluate a fully-trained individual’s performance, would not be appropriate.

An office like mine is still awaiting the joys of a DMR - going to disagreement alongside refusing to delivery lapsed duties will have a very immediate impact at my DO and certainly get the attention of the DSM.
Bring it On!

Any attempt to introduce any change without agreement of the Rep and the members should be met with disagreement
