Royal Mail Managerial Structure - Professionalising Collections



Dear Colleagues,



We became aware that Royal Mail had made announcements regarding their managerial structure for Collections, under the banner/project of ‘Professionalising Collections’.



As a result clarity was sought from Royal Mail on the detail of the initiative and any potential impact to CWU Members and Representatives who undertake Collection activity across a number of different functions.



The business response is that this is purely a managerial driven change linked to their structures which will involve moving to a new structure of three Regional and thirty geographic areas, arranged around Mail Centre catchment areas and aligned to Delivery sectors. It has been confirmed that there will be no changes to where current CWU members are tagged or perform their collection work. In addition they have confirmed there will be no changes to the current IR interfaces within the Collections functions.



Attached to this LTB is a copy of the WTLL briefing that has been shared with us. At the present time we are evaluating the changes to understand whether the information supplied requires further consideration or discussion.



As such if Branches or Representatives have any comments then it would be appreciated if these could be fed back to the relevant CWU Department as soon as possible, so that any necessary representations can be made at the next Collections Joint Working Group Meeting.
