USO DEPLOYMENT AGREEMENT – PART TIME EMPLOYEE SCOPING EXERCISE

USO DEPLOYMENT AGREEMENT – PART TIME EMPLOYEE SCOPING EXERCISE

The purpose of this LTB is to advise Branches, Representatives and members that as agreed within the USO deployment agreement there is the opportunity for c.6,000 part time employees to increase their contracted hours up to full time. This will mean that it provides an ongoing opportunity for part time employees to increase their contracted hours going forwards.

A USO Delivery Scoping Exercise will open today and the attached joint communication has been issued to confirm that the process has been launched on the People App via Robin for delivery employees to express their interest in the following options:

1. Increasing part-time (PT) contracted hours where available at your current office.
2. Increasing part-time (PT) contracted hours and voluntarily moving to another office where there is a vacancy.
3. Moving to another office on a voluntary basis where there is a vacancy.

The USO Delivery Scoping Exercise will be open until Friday 29^th May. Taking part simply means expressing an interest in one or more options to support the wider planning for USO deployment. Likewise, it is not a binding commitment for colleagues or Royal Mail, it is to understand employees’ preferences.

In addition, the business have confirmed that additional information will be shared on PDA messages, TV screens and via Work Time Listening Learning (WTLL) brief.

As such the above communications will ensure all PT employees have the ability to participate in the scoping exercise and we would ask that all Postal Branches ensure the USO Delivery Scoping Exercise is brought to the attention of all members in Delivery Offices.

Any enquiries relating to the content of this LTB should be directed to the Outdoor Department, email address: pharacz@cwu.org.

Yours sincerely,
