Royal Mail's Pay Offer

[Martin Walsh]

Royal Mail have formally written an 8 page letter to the CWU formalising their strategy and included the following 3 year Pay Deal.

It was dependent on their ability to reach agreement on all the issues such as pensions , reductions in MTSF , Legacy payments , RRIS , TPM , Sick pay , the IR framework and new rates for new entrants , monthly pay and acceptance of trials on multi buddle delivery option , heavy and light days , later acceptance times and later starts and trails on Team working.

In the first year they would offer a lump sum of £250 with the opportunity to reduce the Working Week by 30 mins where work can be successfully absorbed without additional cost. Part timers , professional drivers who already enjoy shorter hours would see no reduction in the working week.

In the second year providing the triad are completed in 2017/18 and a national WIPGH ( Weighted Items Per Gross Hours ) figure of 3% is achieved for the period of 2017/18 the Royal Mail will offer half of that i.e. 1.5%

For the third the pay offer will be half of the improvement made nationally on Weighted Items per gross hour.

The CWU have rejected the offer and it is clear now that the CWU now needs to mobilise the membership. The stakes could not be higher ! The membership either supports the CWU in fighting for a future or accept that Royal Mail now see that managing decline is the way to go and reduce our terms and conditions by a huge scale. Their delivery strategy will be a disaster and we need to stop. Remember their delivery strategy will impact on Mail centre's , RDCs and professional drivers !

Be interesting to see this pitiful 8 page letter....is it available to read?

so basically introducing terrible conditions for £250 and *maybe* match around inflation level pay rise after that ? no thanks ! I again remind Moya earned ££1.5m in 2016, £1.52m in 2015. These are outrageous earnings for a leader of a company that is crying about having to make savings. Anything over £100,000 is an insult to the rest of the workforce, Moya show youre willing to sacrfice as you would have us do, reduce to a £100,000 salary, witn no extra benefits until the needs of Royal Mail saving through reducing the workforces pay and conditions are over, then we can talk about what WE can do to save money.

£250 for that lot

And we all know that a 30 minute reduction per week would just disappear, the workload would be exactly the same.

30 mins a week wont make a difference to workload as it would be absorbed ? so they would take x amount of your start time knowing the silly twats that come in early now would just come in even earlyier , but for those who start on time etc it would make a difference. and as for all the other shite its not worth talking about. CLUELESS comes to mind.

[Stammerking]

Start building up your strike fund now guys and gals!

Part timers who already ''enjoy'' shorter hours would see no reduction to their working week.

Dear me.

!

Laughable. The more I hear and read the more I can't see this ending in anything but a long drawn out bitter dispute.

[Zicomurphy]

In my eyes the pay offer itself is completely unacceptable (if the target isn't hit in year 2 and no improvement in year 3 doesn't that mean we could end up with no pay increase for 3 years ?) but then making it dependent on being able to shaft us on a range of other issues which would leave most of us worse off is just ludicrous.

Dear me.

I'm sure most part timers enjoy shorter hours and earning less and having literally no chance of secure full time hour work.

[SpacePhoenix]

and having literally no chance of secure full time hour work.

A good chunk of the blame for that can probably be placed at the feet of the "runners" and/or those who come in early before their start time. When DOMs have got them saving them hours, why would they give them saved hours to part timers?

[LouBarlow]

They need to ballot now not in August. It is clear now that RM aren't going to budge, so it's time to act now not in 3 months time.
