LTB 329/17 CWU Four Pillars of Security Campaign – Bulletin No. 3

Dear Colleague,

CWU Four Pillars of Security Campaign – Bulletin No. 3

As part of our Four Pillars of Security campaign, the union is holding a series of Unit Representative Briefings across the UK to provide an update on the latest talks with the business and set out our key messages to secure the right agreement for all our members in the Royal Mail Group, including Parcelforce.

In line with the policy carried unanimously at CWU’s Annual Conference in April, the Briefings aim to encourage all Unit Representatives, in every grade and every part of the business, to do all they can to maximize membership support for the union’s forward agenda which aims to rise to the challenges the company faces from automation and competition, while delivering real employment, standard of living and retirement security for all our members.

Further to LTB 314/17, attached is Bulletin No. 3 detailing the following regional events:

?Monday, 26th June: London/Anglia/South East & Part South Central

The attached Bulletin has also been shared with Divisional, Regional and Area Representatives.

It is vitally important that every Branch ensures that each Bulletin is forwarded to Unit/Local/Shift Representatives via email and if necessary by physical, means without delay.

The co-operation and assistance of all Branches in this regard is greatly appreciated.

At this moment in time release will be unpaid, however, we have offered the business the opportunity to address Representatives at the Briefings, which if they accept we would expect release to be paid. Further information in this regard will be circulated in due course.

Any enquiries in relation to the content of this LTB should be addressed to the DGS(P) Department.

Yours sincerely

Terry Pullinger
Deputy General Secretary (Postal)
