LTB 230/21 – Royal Mail: Pathway to Change Agreement: Delivering the Shorter Working Week in HR Strategy & Services (HRS&S)
No. 230/2021

8th June 2021

Dear Colleagues

ROYAL MAIL: PATHWAY TO CHANGE AGREEMENT: DELIVERING THE SHORTER WORKING WEEK IN HR STRATEGY & SERVICES (HRS&S)

Further to our interim Joint Statement published on 17th March (attached) I am pleased to advise Branches and our members in HRS&S that following a number of negotiating meetings with HRS&S management, an agreement has now been reached with regards to delivering the Shorter Working Week. The following JS which outlines our final position has been agreed today:

Both HRS&S and CWU recognise the criticality of the Pathway to Change Agreement to the future of Royal Mail Group and all our people; and acknowledge the key role that HRS&S have in delivering these changes for all CWU represented colleagues across the Company.

Constructive dialogue between both parties has continued in recent weeks; and our previous agreed position that the changes needed to deliver this reduction will be achieved through a mix of multi-skilling and productivity improvements remains unchanged.

Our agreement that the Shorter Working Week, will be implemented across HRS&S for all teams at the same time remains the cornerstone of our agreed way forward. Having reviewed the flight paths to implementation for each of the process areas across HRS&S, we can now confirm that we have agreed to implement the hour’s reduction with effect from Monday 27 September 2021.

Simon Haben Andy Furey

HR Director Strategy & Services CWU Assistant Secretary

In closing, this has been a constructive set of negotiations and I’m sure our members working in HRS&S will welcome the implementation of the hour off the working week in September.

Yours sincerely

Andy Furey

Assistant Secretary

I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.
