EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT : THE BIG PICTURE/FRESH START/ALL ABOUT

[tommyrep]

Lol...just lol.

Cannot question your response ! Did the CWU leadership not see how they would continue to operate ??
The agreement has not yet been ratified, yet the evil aspect of RM management have already started their vile tactics !
Their only priority is to hammer delivery staff and continue with "business as usual " on the back of the horrific BT2010 fiasco !!

5.2 Whilst the achieving Local Agreement Procedure is being followed the company and it's managers will continue to apply national and local agreements which are already in place or have been agreed for implementation ( or where there is no recorded agreements which are already in place for at least one working week prior to stage 1 of Achieving Local Agreement Procedure)

Now as fish pointed out in another thread. What agreements have been agreed?

If the agreement is endorsed tomorrow Dave can take Moya to court and the judge will give her a good spanking.

Some people have all the luck

FFS its quite simple, work from your start time to your finish time let them do the worrying, all the office had to do is stick together. They can't do anything about it.

Dear Colleague

EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT – THE BIG PICTURE/FRESH START/ALL ABOUT YOU

It has been brought to the attention of the department that the business, in a number of Royal Mail Group Geographies, are attempting to embark upon seemingly new employee engagement activities in some Mail Centres and quite possibly other units/functions that fall within the department’s current remit.

Colleagues will be aware that the Agenda for Growth, Stability and Long Term Success Agreement, currently out to ballot contains the following commitment in Section Two – Delivering Cultural Change.

Employee Engagement

“By the end of June 2014 we will conclude a review of all existing employee engagement initiatives and put in place new and more progressive initiatives that support our shared objectives, a mutual interest culture and leads to well-motivated and highly engaged employees. This review of existing engagement practices will also cover World Class Mail”.

As you are aware the CWU has gone to great lengths to explain the recommended agreement to representatives at all levels, unit, area and division, however I am not convinced that management have delivered the same standard of message. A new culture will take time to build but achieving consensus and fully involving the CWU in the development of all new initiatives has not only been fully committed to but will also be crucial going forward.

Against that backdrop it is particularly disappointing that some managers have failed to either embrace the new approach or have chosen to ignore it by pushing new un-agreed employee involvement initiatives, especially as the subject matter has been so clearly referred to in the proposed agreement.

So to be clear the above mentioned employee involvement initiatives have not been agreed nationally and any attempt to introduce them should be challenged in the first instance by the logic expressed in this LTB or via the IR Framework and status quo procedures if management fail to respond to your common sense request to respect the new relationship approach.

We would be very grateful if you could keep the department advised accordingly.

Any enquiries in relation to this LTB should be addressed to Terry Pullinger, Assistant Secretary, email: dwyatt@cwu.org or lwright@cwu.org quoting reference number: 711.06.

Yours sincerely

Terry Pullinger
Assistant Secretary

Can someone please explain what this is all about?

[TrueBlueTerrier]

in a nutshell and depending on your views.

1. Rogue managers are starting do things outside of the new AFG2014.

or

2. Royal Mail is using a few anointed managers to test the water and or the Unions resolve.

or.

3. Its business as usual despite the new agreement.

The actual cause of the LTB is immaterial but its about engaging us in working harder and more cheaply and making us all feel appreciated I guess.
