DRP Extended
The purpose of this LTB is to advise Branches, Reps and members that we have agreed with Royal Mail an extension of the two DRPs on USO and Equalisation until 16th March 2026. This will run in line with the process agreed with the Government.
Please see below the agreed statement.
Royal Mail and the CWU agree to extend both Achieving National Agreement procedures
This week, the two Achieving National Agreement procedures for the deployment of Universal Service reform and Equalisation were due to conclude.
We can confirm that we have agreed with Royal Mail to extend the two processes until 16th March 2026. Discussions have been constructive and we look forward to continuing the talks to hopefully reach agreement on both topics as soon as possible.
We will provide an update in due course.
Whilst this is positive news and there has been a level of progress in the talks, several issues still need to be resolved before we can reach an agreement.
Any enquiries relating to the content of this LTB should be referred to the DGSP department hford@cwu.org.
Yours sincerely,
Martin Walsh
Deputy General Secretary (Postal)
CWU Eastern No5 Branch
