Royal Mail Dispute

Further negotiations took place last week between the CWU and Royal Mail’s Chief Executive Adam Crozier. Following those negotiations proposed terms to settle the dispute were presented to the Postal Executive over the last two days.



The TUC General Secretary Brendan Barber has now invited both parties for a further meeting so that the CWU can clarify the remaining outstanding issues. In light of these developments it was also agreed to suspend the current round of industrial action.



This meeting has been scheduled to take place tomorrow (Thursday

To me, this would indicate that the Union have pretty much accepted the offer. The above seems to say that most of the offer is acceptable but there are a few things that need clearing up. I would guess that having spent 3 days poring over the small print, the PEC may have found some hidden away terms and need clarification.

Either way, it had better be worth it or there'll be ufcking hell on...

Have the PEC got a high price lawyer to look over the small print?
Spoke to a bloke who works for BT the other day (exact same union) and he said they got their deal with no fuss at all and that a lawyer was used to examine the deal just in case of any hidden strings.

I'm amazed that the next meeting can't go ahead until tomorrow. Is this because Adam Crozier is over in Russia with some old buddies from the FA watching the match later do you think?
