What?

[POSTMAN]

A dispute resolution clause is typically a written agreement between you and the other party. It specifies what should happen in the event of a disagreement that may arise in the future. The clause may lay out what the process is should a dispute arise, such as mediation, arbitration or perhaps litigation

[POSTMAN]

OPG

Why are we in the dispute resolution process? You seem to know the outcome and seem unwilling to move.
Negotiations mean compromise, you know what are you prepared to compromise on.

Ricky Says

I think the 1st thing to say is that we are trying to put pay on the table, and we're you know we've been talking about that for some time now.

The two percent pay offer, on agreement to the changes backdated to April, Another one and a half percent when we get the changes deployed and we want to deploy the changes as quickly as we can, and then another up to two percent with a brand new incentives scheme, which I think The CWU want to do with this money anyway so that people sharing the benefit of productivity.

But got a difference of opinion there and we've got to go through that and i'm very hopeful next week we'll get two disputes in the dispute resolution procedure one's in pay and ones in pay and change and we'll be there next week to sit down and we hope with The CWU will be as well to start talking about pay and pay and change together.

And the kind of changes that we're talking about it's about how we organise, It's about our working practices and methods and the fundamentally about fairness and some of those other areas that they were looking to affect changes in and it's all about being brilliant for customers. and if we're brilliant for customers, we can grow the business and we can secure the future of everybody that works in the business and, that's why WE need the change along with the pay.

It is really important, and we want The CWU's thinking and input.

We know that Terry and the EC and his by the membership have done a lot of work on a policy document and there's a number of things in there I think we can work with along with the along with the changes that we need to make to get to an agreement and get an agreement quickly, and if we can achieve that, we can get paid on the table.
