LTB 278/21 – Royal Mail: Pathway to Change Agreement: Delivering the Shorter Working Week in the National Returns Centre (NRC)
No. 278/2021

2nd July 2021

Dear Colleagues

ROYAL MAIL: PATHWAY TO CHANGE AGREEMENT: DELIVERING THE SHORTER WORKING WEEK IN THE NATIONAL RETURNS CENTRE (NRC)

I am pleased to advise Branches and our members working in the NRC in Belfast that following discussions with management, an agreement has been reached with regards to delivering the Shorter Working Week from Monday 19th July. The following Joint Statement outlines our agreed position:

Royal Mail: Pathway to Change Agreement: Delivering the Shorter Working Week in the National Returns Centre

We are pleased to advise that an agreement has now been reached with regards to delivering the Shorter Working Week in the National Returns Centre.

Constructive dialogue between both parties has continued over recent weeks and we can now confirm that joint targets have been agreed to enable the Shorter Working Week, which will be implemented from the 19th July 2021, with a 15 minute reduction at the end of the day Monday to Thursday.

Both Royal Mail and the CWU acknowledge the way in which colleagues have responded to the unprecedented challenges presented by the Covid-19 pandemic and wish to thank you for your continued hard work.

I wish to extend my thanks to our Area Admin Representative, Gerry Loughran, for his support in helping to bring this matter to a positive conclusion and I’m certain the agreement will be well received by our NRC members.

Yours sincerely

Andy Furey

Assistant Secretary

Just my opinion , but I don't know why this even exists , if customers can't put a return address on their mail , why does this company employ people to open it and return it with the expense this incurs. Not only that , you only have to look at some of the addresses and wonder why we bother.
The same ones who continually under pay the postage all with Royal Mails blessing.

Probably the requirement to do so will be either written into the Postal Services Act or written into the USO
