In London we were fed up waiting for CWU HQs to resolve the FTC issue. So we decided to put pressure on Royal Mail by not agreeing to revisions until they agreed to make permanent those FTCs who had done over 2 years. They then deicded to reach an agreement with us in London.
Firstly, well done to the reps involved in getting these contracts.
But tell me dingo, what's stopping this becoming a national policy ? It seems to me a lot of this latest agreement, and what can be beneficial from it, is all down to local agreement. We read on here from different parts of the country how in delivery we are all now doing the job differently.
This seems to be down to local interpretation of the agreement by managers, and how strong your particular office union is. This can only be bad news for a national union, where all members contribute equally to the pot, but any benefits are only felt if you have good reps locally.
