No. 051/2017

30th January 2017

For the Immediate Attention of All:

Postal Branches

Area Processing Representatives



JOINT STATEMENT BETWEEN ROYAL MAIL AND THE CWU COVERING THE DEPLOYMENT OF GRAVITY ROLLERS FOR LARGE PARCEL SORTING IN THE MAIL CENTRE NETWORK – ADDITIONAL INSTALLATIONS



Dear Colleagues

Branches and representatives will be aware that LTB 420/16 communicated the Joint Statement between Royal Mail and The CWU Covering The Deployment of Gravity Rollers For Large Parcel Sorting in The Mail Centre Network (copy attached for ease of reference at Annex A).

The business has now informed the department that feedback from the initial deployment activity has been very positive and that additional funding has been secured to extend deployment of the standard method via Phase 2 activity. During Phase 2 it is planned to deploy a further 17 sets of Gravity Rollers in Mail Centres during January to March 2017, which will mean that 24 out of 38 Mail Centres will be operating the new standard method.

The table attached at Annex B provides details in relation to the number of conveyors that have been deployed at each Mail Centre in Phase 1, will be deployed in Phase 2 and a total overall.

Branches and representatives are therefore informed that local engagement should now take place in regard to deployment arrangements in line with the aforementioned Joint Statement.

Any enquiries in relation to this LTB should be addressed to Davie Robertson, Assistant Secretary, email: dwyatt@cwu.org or shayman@cwu.org quoting reference number: 711.02

Yours sincerely





Davie Robertson

Assistant Secretary

Just looking at the diagram in the second one, it's plain to see that the system's downfall will be staffing

Perhaps I'm missing the obvious but surely this just adds an extra stage of handling, the bodies needed to place the parcels onto the rollers?
