At this time, the key aspects of this campaign are as follows:
In December 2022, Royal Mail started employing new recruits on worse terms and conditions. The CWU did not agree to this, has never agreed to this, and is striving to resolve this.
We want a pathway to equalisation.
The postal industry regulator Ofcom has changed the statutory delivery requirements for the UK. The company wants to implement this change by an ‘optimised delivery model’ (ODM) which does not work in practice. The CWU wants to implement this change by a ‘heavy and light’ method, which will work in practice.
Talks are ongoing on both issues at this time.
If you are a member of the CWU and would like to know more about this campaign, please reach out to your local rep, or branch secretary.
