Negotiators Agreement reached : Video

Celgar · Post by **Celgar** » 29 Jan 2018, 23:11

Apparently there is a new video on the CWU website giving more details of the deal although I haven't looked to see if it is there. We were told this morning the deal includes a 2.2% pay rise on all the usual stuff including overtime backdated to April 2017 and it is a two year deal. No other information given to us at the meeting.

When we get the vote it will have no bearing on the pension changes. If the union decides at a later date that the new pension deal is a no go they can do a separate ballot for strike action.

You could not be more wrong. Wait for the Agreement to come out and don’t listen to rumours.

I’m not getting all the negativity on here. We just need to see what the agreement is and then decide

I’m pretty sure Royal Mail offered more than 2.2% a while ago so that can’t be right.

Thanks for trying to quash the rumours dingo.

the mediator advised a 2.6% pay rise and that was rejected by the union, so can you really see a 2.2% rise being accepted? I think not.

There's an information vacuum dingo and the members are filling it themselves, some of these rumours will take root and reps are going to have a hard job shifting them.

when can we expect to see it? (the agreement)

Think we will have an announcement on Thursday/Friday.

The C.W.U P.E.C are meeting today +tomorrow to decide on recommendation (or rejection)of the "Negotiators Agreement" .

Hope we do as members are expecting news .

I have and there isn't. Sorry but such unsubstantiated claims and rumours help no one but Royal Mail I wish members would at least do some cursory checks before passing on what their rep, mates or drinking buddies have said.

A WW2 says it all really

Interpretation is going to play a big factor especially the "pipeline" RM managers will have their brief & Union will have theirs with members in the middle

Agree totally but I have only looked at what dingo has said so do you think this would be true or just rumour
