Dear Colleagues

JOINT STATEMENT BETWEEN ROYAL MAIL AND THE CWU COVERING THE DEPLOYMENT PROGRAMME FOR PARCEL SORTING MACHINES WITHIN THE MAIL CENTRE ESTATE/RDC ESTATE

Branches will be aware of the drive to increase Parcel Automation levels within the Mail Centre Network. 20 PSM’s have been deployed across 16 Mail Centres and the business have committed to a further program of deployment in phases taking the number to 33 within the next 2 years.

This is not an end state number and the expectation remains that the final deployment plan will see Parcel Automation introduced at all current Mail Centre sites.

The next phase (2A) is now ready to commence after a short delay and involves the deployment of four PSM’s at:
  • Chester MC
    Medway MC
    Nottingham MC
    Tyneside MC
These machines are a different specification from previous deployments and have been designed with a smaller footprint for Mail Centres with less available floor space. The changed layout requires the addition of an additional operator.

Attached for the information of Branches and Representatives is a Joint Statement covering the Phase 2A PSM deployment. The Joint Statement reaffirms that the terms of the 2018 PSM Deployment agreement will continue to apply to this deployment and it is attached as an Annexe to the Joint Statement...
Joint Statement PSM Deployment 27.08.21

Any enquiries in relation to this LTB should be addressed to Davie Robertson, Assistant Secretary, email: dwyatt@cwu.org quoting reference 732.01.

Yours sincerely

Davie Robertson

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.
