Robin – New Home for the RMG People App

Branches will recall LTB 279/25 issued 23^rdDecember, which reported on the Royal Mail Group decision to migrate their own communication platforms away from Workplace and the People App to a new platform called Robin.

Since then, the union has been made aware that as of today (2^nd March 2026), the People App will switch platforms and will only be available via Robin.

Accordingly, attached here is a communication issued by the business further reporting on this change, entitled Final countdown: The People App only available on Robin from 2 March. We also understand that in advance of this, RMG had also written individually to employees who had not signed up to Robin by February this year.

In offering this further update, Branches and members are reminded that guidance on how to navigate this new platform is set out in LTB 279/25.

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)

SPECIAL REPORT “LABOUR PARTY RELATIONSHIP”

With the publication of LTB 058/26 containing the Special Report “Labour Party Relationship” as permitted by Rule 10.6 it has been necessary to issue this LTB with further information on how the Special Report will be dealt with at General Conference. Attached to the LTB is the Motion to Amend form and the Guidance Notes.

The Special Report “Labour Party Relationship” will form the Political Fund Management Section of the General conference Agenda and only Motions to Amend the Special Report and the enabling motion from the NEC will be included in that section. Therefore, any branch or Regional Political Sub Committee who have submitted a motion containing content which would be included in the PFM section of the agenda MUST read the report and then submit a motion to amend the report should they wish to do so.

Motions submitted not seeking to amend the Special Report which includes content the General Conference SOC consider would be placed in the Political Fund Management section of the General Conference agenda will not be included in the published agenda, therefore it is important that Branches and Regional Political Sub Committees read the information attached to this LTB.
