CWU members in deliveries will be receiving this message today.
"Let’s be absolutely clear, this dispute is not about the CWU asking for more. This dispute is as a result of your employer’s actions and Royal Mail walking away from our 2018 Four Pillars national agreement.
The company is currently pushing ahead with unagreed and unacceptable changes and imposing these by taking ‘executive action’ in many locations across the country.
The approach taken by Royal Mail will have a dramatic and long-term damaging impact on your terms and conditions and working life.
Royal Mail’s position is that they have decided that they cannot wait to deploy these unagreed changes, this is despite the union offering the company a sensible period of calm in order to create the right environment for talks and to get into joint detailed discussions and to address all of the issues contained within the dispute.
Given that Royal Mail’s public position is that they want to work with the union, by pushing on with unagreed changes, their actions clearly demonstrate the plain fact of the matter that they do not.
There are many vital issues on which we need to reach agreement with the company and, despite their stage-managed and hollow rhetoric in messages delivered to you through videos with actors and ‘plastic’ senior managers, they are refusing to get around the table in any meaningful way.
In fact, this is something they have not been prepared to do now for over a year – Royal Mail’s position is a complete sham.
These are some of the issues that face us all in the
coming months and years ahead, issues that desperately need a joint solution – not a management-only plan that, in our view, is inept and short term.
Royal Mail’s current position is designed just to meet shareholder demands and profi t targets which will place the company into jeopardy both in the medium and longer term. We must therefore challenge Royal Mail’s plans if the UK-wide public service our members provide is to be protected and enhanced.
Royal Mail must also use the strength of the six-day USO, and its unique scale and reach, to capture the commercial and growth opportunities available, also with more locally developed products and services building on our members’ place and role within their communities".

"Culture – an end to the unacceptable toxic daily battle our members face at work
• Lapsing and absorption – equal duties, properly
resourced that will end this curse, ensuring fair and manageable workloads
• Design of the future mails pipeline to serve the final mile, with parcels delivered from all delivery offices.
• The maintenance of a six-day USO that protects many thousands of good quality jobs, whilst also maintaining our members’ role in society.
• A delivery office estate that is fit for purpose and ourmembers are proud to work in, not run-down buildings with no space and without adequate equipment.
• Modern innovative working arrangements and duty patterns that deal with the increasing outdoor element of the job.
• Real support. Proper breaks and time away from
work befitting a valued group of employees who
deserve better.
• The company need to honour the Shorter Working Week Flight Path to 35 hours a week, that willsafeguard future full-time jobs and enable the
good working practices and duty patterns that our
members deserve.
• To jointly and honestly evaluate the benefits and
purpose of the Automated Hours Data Capture and Resource Scheduler, along with all technology systems and not a dogmatic insistence that it will work simply because millions of pounds have been spent on it.
• To use technology as an aid and to grow products and services, not as a stick to beat our members with – in a dishonest way that only records what the company want to record, not the actual time that our members plough into the job on a daily basis.
• It is not acceptable that many of our members feel forced to have to work in their own time day after day in order to avoid confrontation with their manager.
• Jointly develop methods of doing the job that really help our members and not dogmatic attempts to make something work that clearly benefits nobody
• Promote and enhance the letter product, not simply abandon it – diversification, innovation and growth are the clear ways forward for a company that reaches every address in the UK, every day. We can do so much more if there is a genuine will from Royal Mail to do so.
It is the company who is once again walking away from genuine growth opportunities.
• We want to see, and need to see, our members
delivering out on the street from 7am to 7pm (outside of the core USO), in line with our agreement, when people want to see us and want to receive their post!
• New products and services – outside of our normal comfort zones – real ambition, strategic thinking and building on Royal Mail’s heritage are what is needed.
This is what we want in delivery. It’s what we thought we had in 2018 with the Four Pillars agreement.
We are demanding that the employer honours our
national agreements".
Teslo, you can't blame investors for taking advantage of what's on offer.
I will see what I can find on the £1.8bn. I suspect that DerekR may have the answer.
It is interesting to note that RM has issued £1.35bn in dividend payments since July 2014 which is close to three quarters of the £1.8bn and what has it gained?
Teslo, I posted the following yesterday afternoon.
As I have said before, I don't want to turn this into a CWU forum but there are times when they come into play. The following extract is taken from the Four Pillars Agreement between RM and CWU.
"I think that it's the following statement which is causing the CWU to call foul;
"Given the commitment demonstrated by this agreement it is agreed that both parties will enter into a joint review during 2019 which is overseen by a jointly agreed independent chair and is based on the approach for the review set out in the Agenda for Growth . Any adjustments agreed as necessary coming out of the review will not be implemented until October 2020. It would then be the intention to refresh the Legally Binding Agreement with any agreed amendments to 2022, with scheduled reviews thereafter".
It would appear that this fall's within the boundary of the legally binding agreement as stated in the Four Pillars Agreement?
Reading it again, it looks as though RB may have deliberately created a situation that caused any legally binding agreement to fail?
Teslo, your thoughts may be correct with regard to compromise (on both sides) but nonetheless these are the issues that the CWU membership will be looking at when the ballot papers are issued.
I don't work in deliveries but I do speak to drivers who visit both delivery offices and mail centres and they have told me that the level of toxicity between the managers and posties in certain delivery offices is palpable.
@ Teslo.
In the space of 11 minutes, your 2 posts part copied and pasted:
13:52 post: """Oli - the soon the ballot the better.
It will have an impact on share price ,and will drive it down short-term""""
14.03 post. """"One thing i will add is after reading all of this I am actually not concerned at all with the CWU - RMG issues.
This will 100 % be resolved it is actually nothing and I will be surprised if it goes to IA or even effects the share price."""""
So there you have it. In the space of 660 seconds, that includes the thought process and one finger typing, Teslo The Great has changed his / her opinion.
He / She may post a lot of what seems to be knowledgeable information, but nearly all of it is about how fantastically well he / she has done.
And from reading the posts today the tack has obviously changed.
Good luck with your "investments" Teslo.
I don't expect that you'll be posting anymore. As you keep telling everyone here. Another lie?????

@ Teslo.
It's called guessing!
Nothing wrong with changing your mind as often as the wind though.
I do, however, still firmly believe you're full of "Bullish." So maybe i'll do the exact opposite of what you predict.
Do you think this will go as low as 145p in the near term, say 4-6 weeks? I have a buy order at that price.
