Let's hope a decent deal has been done.The cynic in me says it will be in order to facilitate more discussions etc.

If a deal isn't done then why call it off this early?

Royal Mail and CWU have made progress in talks and commit to finalising an agreement in the next two weeks which will include the following:-

1. Legal protections for employees that extend beyond the current three year offer.

2. An improved pay and reward offer.

3. A separate pensions agreement.

4. An agenda for growth underpinned by a culture of consensual change, timely decision making and industrial stability supported by alternative dispute resolution processes.

5. An agreed approach to aligning resourcing to workload with a resolution to any current workload and resourcing issues.

6. An overview of the future parcels and letters strategy.

7. A joint company/CWU charter shaping the ongoing values and principles of the Royal Mail Group.

8. An ongoing operational programme of work.

9. The individual elements outlined above will only be deemed agreed when everything is agreed.
On the basis of the aforementioned CWU agree to stand down the 24 hour strike planned for the 4th November.

Royal Mail agree to extend the legal validity of the current industrial action ballot until 20th November

Both parties will clear diaries to ensure all our efforts are focused on reaching an agreement by the 13th November.

Surely cwu would not agree to a no strike agreement? Lets hope the deal is a promising one.

If they don't break the agreement ,there would be no need for us to strike.

On one hand it looks very impressive for the CWU in getting RM to agree to their terms so quickly.

On the other hand you can't help but feel a bit suspicious why. I suppose we'll find out in time. Onwards and upwards, here's hoping for the best.
