Royal Mail: Pensions – Guide for CWU Reps and Collective Plan Presentation at Postal Conference
At our Postal Conference, senior members of the Collective Plan Executive Team presented on the Collective Plan, including the importance of signing up to the Member Self Service Portal which enables members to:
- Check their personal details and contact information are correct
- Tell the Executive Team who they’d like their money to go to in the event of death
- Choose how they would like the Executive Team to keep in touch with them
- View what they’ve got in the Collective Plan so far and what they might get at age 67.
An explanation was also given on the first annual valuation and the headline results, and how the adjustments work to both the Income for Life and the Lump Sum. The slide presentation is attached to this LTB for ease of reference.
A good and extensive Q&A session took place following the presentation, and on behalf of our delegates, we would like to pass our thanks on to the Collective Plan Executive Team for their time and the important update.
Launch of the CWU Pensions Guide
Delegates at conference were provided with a printed copy of the new Pensions Guide for CWU Reps. This guide covers all of the various Royal Mail pension schemes, including the Collective Plan, and is intended to be used as a reference document for Branches and Reps to refer to when members come to them with questions on their pensions. The guide is also available electronically, by scanning the QR code below:
