JOINT STATEMENT BETWEEN ROYAL MAIL AND THE CWU COVERING THE DEPLOYMENT OF MASS YORK MOVER IN GREENFORD MAIL CENTRE (GREENFORD YORKWAY)

Dear Colleagues

Branches and representatives will be aware that in line with the Agenda for Growth commitment to a more collaborative mutual interest working model, the department has been pursuing a standardised policy approach with the business in order to address operating/equipment issues across the Mail Centre network.

In line with the above commitment trial activity has been taking place at Greenford Mail Centre in relation to a site specific initiative.

The trial has been reviewed Nationally by the joint Trial Coordination Working Group. This review has endorsed the methods developed at Greenford Mail Centre but only as a bespoke Materials Handling Solution specific to Greenford Mail Centre.

Branches should note that this method will not be considered as a standard and any proposals for similar initiatives at any other site will be subject to further bespoke trial activity.

To facilitate the deployment of this method at Greenford Mail Centre a Joint Statement has been concluded with the business which has been endorsed by the Postal Executive and is attached for your information. Colleagues will note that in line with previous agreements the Joint Statement provides for continued full CWU involvement in the deployment activity.

Any enquiries in relation to this LTB should be addressed to Davie Robertson, Assistant Secretary, email: dwyatt@cwu.org or shayman@cwu.org quoting reference number: 715.21

Yours sincerely



Davie Robertson

Assistant Secretary
