Royal Mail pay latest

To: All Branches with Postal Members

Dear Colleague

Royal Mail Pay – April 2013

The purpose of this LTB is to advise CWU Branches, Representatives and members on the current situation with Pay.

The Union is determined to achieve a straightforward above inflation pay rise for at least 2 years commencing April 1st 2013. As part of this we are also seeking an opportunity for our members to share in the company’s ongoing profits as a replacement for ColleagueShare, alongside new productivity arrangements. 

Initially, the company had agreed that we would resolve pay before the April due date. However, the situation has now become more difficult because of wider industrial relations problems. The current situation is that the company are insisting that pay is linked to a resolution to outstanding Business Transformation issues and clarity on their future plans.

The Postal Executive will be considering this matter when they meet next Tuesday. Further information will follow and the issue of pay will also be included in a planned membership communication that will arrive soon.

Please ensure that the content of this LTB is communicated in your to all workplaces.

Any enquiries on the above LTB should be addressed to the DGS (P) Department.

Yours sincerely

Dave Ward 

Deputy General Secretary (P)
