 JOINT STATEMENT BETWEEN ROYAL MAIL LOGISTICS AND THE CWU REGARDING DEPLOYMENT OF THE NATIONAL NETWORK REVIEW

This Joint Statement confirms the agreed way forward in relation to the deployment of the National Network Review.

Both parties recognise that we are currently experiencing positive increases in Tracked customer demand and the overall volumetric growth in the pipeline as we move towards Christmas. It is therefore vital that everyone is fully focused on this critical operations period.

Given the above it has been jointly agreed not to deploy the National Network Review prior to Christmas.

This Joint Statement confirms that the deployment date for the National Network Review will be the 25th January 2016.

Both parties recognise that there will be some final areas of adjustment to be concluded and that local and national discussions will continue, in order to finalise duty sets and complete re-picks ahead of the deployment date.

Any issues which could place the agreed deployment date at risk must be referred to the National parties at the earliest possible opportunity to ensure these are addressed in a timely manner.
