No. 637/2019

4th November 2019



Delivery of Election Material

Dear Colleagues,

Branches will no doubt be aware that the General Election has been called for the 12th December 2019.

The Outdoor Department has written to Royal Mail requesting that a meeting be arranged as soon as possible in order to discuss the arrangements for the forthcoming election, and in particular the current agreement covering the remuneration payments for the delivery of Election Material.

Contained within the letter sent to Royal Mail we have requested that our discussions with the company are also focused on reviewing the current payments in line with existing Conference policy. The current National Agreement and unit payment rates have remained in place since 2005, accordingly these have therefore not kept pace with inflation.

In addition, our discussions with Royal Mail and any subsequent National Agreement must also take fully into account of the fact that the General Election and therefore the delivery of Election material will be taking place during the Christmas pressure period, and as a consequence of this all agreed working arrangements in delivery offices must take fully account of this.

Further updates and information regarding this issue will be provided in due course.

Any enquiries in relation to this LTB should be addressed to email: outdoorsecretary@cwu.org quoting reference number: 535.09.

Yours sincerely,

Mark Baulch
Assistant Secretary

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

FINANCIAL PARITY ACROSS THE LAND/POLITICAL SPECTRUM? TOPS
'cos whatever rm is charging it sure is a rip-off for the end of the line ie; the work end of this pipeline...us!
Glad that this IA has highlighted another aspect of management 'forgetting' to renumerate it's workforce properly: whilst I'm sure they are charging "the going rate"...fecking twits :coolr

Regarding payment per item our union said the other day it is either 6.6p or 6.8p per item which includes the poll cards unless the council decide to deliver them which has happened once in our neck of the woods. Usually though we get the poll cards as well.
The worry regarding election material payments is that usually they say if you go over time and are receiving 'emp' then you cannot claim overtime - presuming you are usually able to book overtime that is. With the election date being December 12th this roughly coordinates with the start of 'christmas pressure' as RM view it so there shouldn't be too much crossover.

Nothing so far.
