Dear Colleague

Quadrant Pay Claim 2012/13 Agreement & Ballot Arrangements



Negotiations have been concluded regarding the pay agreement for 2012/13.

Despite the continuing pressure on Quadrant provision and performance as a consequence of the general economic crisis and the financial efficiencies within Royal Mail, both Quadrant management and the CWU recognise the considerable effort and contribution being made by Quadrant employees.

Your Union believes that the reward approach negotiated, when considering the current climate, is worthy of recommendation to you. As a result, the CWU has no hesitation in encouraging you to VOTE YES in favour of this agreement.
