Dear Colleague,

Official Industrial Action 7th - 14th August 2009
As a consequence of official Industrial Action taking place during the above period in a number of offices, Royal Mail have advised us that in order to restore a full service to its customers it may be necessary to divert work to other offices to clear backlogs caused by the Industrial Action.
It is important that picketing only takes place at or near the workplace where members have been balloted and not at any other office or location which may be being used during the period of Industrial Action.
Furthermore, any refusal by members who are not involved in the balloted Industrial Action to work as directed is, in fact, unlawful Industrial Action.
Branches are reminded that only properly balloted Industrial Action is legal and any refusal to co-operate with management over these changes may be deemed unofficial Industrial Action and therefore illegal. This, of course, applies to use of supplementary staff and levels of overtime to clear any backlogs. All such measures will be subject to normal consultative arrangements.
If any difficulties are incurred then Branches should contact the Operational Assistant Secretary.
Yours sincerely,

BILLY HAYES DAVE WARD
GENERAL SECRETARY DEPUTY GENERAL SECRETARY (P)
