Dangerous Dogs – Royal Mail Customer On-Line Re-Delivery Requests – Terms & Conditions Tick Box Question Added For Customers Regarding Dog Control During Re-Delivery:

Dangerous Dogs – Royal Mail Customer On-Line Re-Delivery Requests – Terms & Conditions Tick Box Question Added For Customers Regarding Dog Control During Re-Delivery:

I’m pleased to report to Branches that having raised the above matter with the Royal Mail National Field Operations Director, a CWU suggestion has been acknowledged as a very good idea and the matter has been referred to those concerned within the business. As a result, a change will be made to the Royal Mail customer’s on-line re-delivery request form which will in future, from a date to be determined, include a question/tick-box for customers when they complete the request form for a parcel re-delivery, that if they are a dog owner, they agree that they will keep their dog(s) under control and will ensure the dog(s) is/are secured during the time they open their door for their parcel re-delivery.

I would like to place on record my thanks to Christian Kerr CWU ASR Durham for this suggestion.

Attachment: Confirmation from the RM Field Operations Director.

Yours sincerely

Virtual Classroom Course Programme (April – July 2021)

Virtual Classroom Course Programme (April – July 2021)

Please see below a further programme of online (virtual classroom) courses.  Courses identified as “in-house” are being delivered informally via zoom and therefore will not result in accreditation.

The remainder will be run through our Further Education partners in the devolved nations.

The Neurodiversity, Women’s and BAME Leadership courses will be delivered in-house and applicants from all of the UK devolved nations will attend together.

We will be reviewing this programme whilst it is being delivered to consider further provision in this way during the period of the pandemic.

Application Process

Authorised applications must be received by the cut-off dates. Please see the attached video guide for Branch Secretaries on how to apply for courses.

IT, Infrastructure and learning differences

Having tested online delivery of both accredited and unaccredited courses, it is crucial that the student is set up appropriately and in good time before the training commences. The learner must preferably have access to a good PC / laptop.  Tablets can be used but have some limitation in our experience.  Attending training courses using a mobile phone will not be allowed.

There must be a stable internet connection from where the learning is taking place. Colleges will also be in contact before the course to advise of any additional requirements.

We would appreciate Branches assistance in ensuring any applicants are prepared in line with the above points.  If any representatives encounter difficulties getting set up with IT equipment in preparation for course attendance, they should advise their Branch Secretary, Union Learning Rep or the Equality, Education & Development Department as soon as possible.

Additionally, upon application; please ensure that we are aware in good time of any adjustments that may need to be arranged such as issues relating to dyslexia or sight / hearing differences.

Release & Notice

Paid release should normally apply where the union is recognised and / or in line with any existing agreements and protocols.

Please forward any enquiries relating to this LTB to courseadmin@cwu.org  in the first instance.

Finally, we are sure that Branches appreciate that this is a particularly challenging time for all concerned, including our partner providers and therefore we acknowledge and thank you in advance for your patience with this approach.

Yours sincerely,

Kate Hudson
Head of Equality, Education & Development

ELECTION OF CWU REGIONAL SECRETARIES – 2021

ELECTION OF CWU REGIONAL SECRETARIES – 2021

Nominations are invited for the positions of CWU Regional Secretary for the following regions:EasternMidlandNorth EastNorthern IrelandNorth WestScotlandSouth EastSouth WestWales & the MarchesLondon

Candidates must be nominated by their own branch at a properly constituted branch meeting.  Where there is more than one candidate for each position there will be an individual member ballot of the whole membership of the respective region, and ballots will be conducted in accordance with the attached election guidelines.

Nomination Forms are attached to this LTB and should be returned to: Tony Kearns, Senior Deputy General Secretary by email to elections@cwu.org by no later than 14:00 on 31 March 2021.

Any ballots required will be conducted in accordance with the attached election guidelines.

Additional Election Information 

During the Covid-19 pandemic it is not possible to conduct elections in exactly the same way as we have done previously and therefore the arrangements have been specifically structured to firstly ensure that the democratic principles on which the CWU is founded upon and that election process is conducted in a fair and equitable way.

Specifically our objective is to ensure even during the current Covid 19 pandemic that members of the union, via the branch nomination process, are given the opportunity to put themselves forward as a candidate. These guiding principles have been included in the revised arrangements a summary of which is set out below.

Election Timetable 

It is necessary for the election timetable to be longer than normal to allow branches sufficient time to seek nominations from their members and to then subsequently agree on which candidates(s) they intend to nominate for election and, once the list of candidates is known to then decide which candidate(s) will receive the branch vote.

Nomination Process

In respect of seeking nominations branches will need to put in place a robust system and use all reasonable methods at their disposal to publish suitable notification throughout the branch area giving members the opportunity to submit their name for nomination to the position should they choose to do so.  Following this the branch would need to put in place arrangements to hold a membership meeting to decide which candidate(s) will receive the branch nomination.

On the basis that no face to face member meetings are currently allowed then this would need to be conducted via a suitable video conference platform such as Zoom or Skype, etc. that provides the opportunity for large numbers of members to take part if required.

Additionally branches will need to allow for members who do not have video conference capability to join the meeting by phone again if they choose to do so.

The timeline for the meeting would need to be agreed in advance and notification provided to members at least 7 days prior to the meeting taking place.

Return of Nomination Forms to CWU HQ

Nomination forms will be sent to branches electronically via an LTB and it will be our intention to set up a specific dedicated election email address (elections@cwu.org) where branches should return completed nomination forms by email.

Nomination Forms will need to be returned by the advertised closing date to be included in the list of candidates. 

The revised system will avoid the necessity to return forms in the post system which of course may be subject to delay during the current Covid-19 crisis.

Dispatch and Return of Voting Papers

The voting papers will be sent direct to member’s home addresses by the appointed independent scrutineer. In the ballot the relevant members will be sent a ballot pack containing the voting paper, biographical details, election statement and a return envelope. Members will also be given the choice to vote online via a specific website set up and administered by the appointed independent scrutineer. Members will need to return their ballot paper by the advertised closing time and date in order for their vote to be counted.

Branch Voting Recommendations

Clearly we are in unique and challenging times and whilst branches would normally arrange mandating meetings to decide which candidates to vote for in the respective elections we do not believe that this is either practical or necessary during the current crisis.  Therefore, on this occasion this decision can be made by the Branch Committee and the decision subsequently notified to members of their branch accordingly.

Election Timetable and Term of Office 

The election timetable for the above elections will be as follows:

Nominations Open:                 10 March 2021

Nominations Close:                 31 March 2021 (14:00)

Ballot opens:                              6 April 2021

Ballot closes:                              27 April 2021 (First Post)

The term of Office for the above positions will commence from May 2021 for a period of 2 years.

Any enquiries regarding this Letter to Branches should be addressed to the Senior Deputy General Secretary’s Department on telephone number 020 8971 7237, or email address sdgs@cwu.org.

PENSIONS: RMSPS – MEMBERS’ WEBSITE ADMINISTERED BY CAPITA

PENSIONS: RMSPS – MEMBERS’ WEBSITE ADMINISTERED BY CAPITA

Branches are advised that last year we were approached by the Cabinet Office with the aim of raising awareness of the existence of the Royal Mail Statutory Pension Scheme (RMSPS) website and portal administered by Capita. It was evident that the website was under-utilised as only 6% of scheme members had registered for an online account. We responded positively to the Cabinet Office and were very happy to work with them to promote the website as it is vitally important our Royal Mail and Post Office scheme members are able to plan and prepare effectively for retirement by knowing how to access their pension information.

Cabinet Office Representatives together with our Communications Department have produced various materials promoting the RMSPS website including a Podcast featuring Alan Pickering, who has been the Chair of the governance group of the RMSPS since its inception, and myself which can be accessed via the following link:

Royal Mail Statutory Pension Scheme by CWU The U Word (soundcloud.com)

My thanks go to Amie Retallick, Deputy Head of Communications for her efforts in producing the Podcast and also the associated members’ comms which will be supplemented by a feature in the forthcoming publication of The Voice.

Poor Accessibility to Capita’s Website – Technical Issues Being Addressed

On Wednesday 3rd March we advised all members via email, WhatsApp and various social media platforms how to follow the 7 steps in the attached document to sign up to the online portal which can be found at https://www.royalmailsps.co.uk/

Unfortunately it quickly became clear there were some serious technical issues regarding members accessing the RMSPS website. Members have been quick to advise us of the significant problems they have encountered when trying to navigate around the web page and we thank Branches, Reps and members for alerting us to these problems. In this regard, please be assured we have shared all enquiries received directly with the Cabinet Office who in turn met with Capita yesterday with the aim of resolving these issues as soon as possible.

We are obviously disappointed with this position and have expressed our view to the Cabinet Office, who fully understand. Indeed it is regrettable our members have had this poor experience. However, had we not promoted the RMSPS website we wouldn’t have been aware of these issues and therefore we now have real evidence that the website needs to be overhauled by Capita to make it more user friendly and fit for purpose.

We fully recognise there is a high degree of frustration around this matter, with members heavily criticising, via social media, the poor technical experience when trying to access the website. Thankfully, due to the feedback received, this has galvanised Capita via the Cabinet Office to rectify this situation. I wish to stress these problems are not of the making of the Union and indeed this has only come to light as a consequence of us proactively raising the profile of the website and the important information that should be readily accessible to our members.

It would be appreciated if Branches could respond to member enquiries by providing them with this LTB which should also be shared as widely as possible to provide both our Royal Mail and Post Office members in the RMSPS scheme with the reassurance and comfort that urgent steps are being taken to rectify these website problems. Hopefully this matter will be resolved in the coming days.

Further developments will be reported.

Yours sincerely

Andy Furey
Assistant Secretary

Budget 2021 and a New Deal for Workers

Budget 2021 and a New Deal for Workers

The purpose of this LTB is to provide a short update to branches on yesterday’s Budget announcement and our continuing work on a New Deal for Workers.  A useful reference note (from the CWU Research Department) on the key measures in the Budget is attached.

As you will see, the Government has announced the extension of the furlough scheme, the self-employed income support scheme and the £20 per week increase in Universal Credit until September.  Alongside this, the most significant new initiatives are a tax cut for businesses over the next two years, followed by an increase in corporation tax and freezing income tax thresholds (an effective tax increase for workers) from 2023.

The package from the Government falls way short of what we believe is necessary.  On the immediate issues, the level of statutory sick pay remains too low for people to isolate, hundreds of thousands of renters in debt to landlords have been left without additional support and the plan to end the £20 uplift to Universal Credit in September will push more families into poverty at the very point unemployment is expected to peak.  When people are having to choose between heating and food, the government is failing to recognise the severity of the crisis in living standards for millions across the country, while claiming to do “whatever is necessary.”

On the longer term picture, the CWU has worked with other unions and the TUC to call for a major stimulus package of investment to create good unionised jobs (including in broadband) – despite forecasts that unemployment will hit 2.2 million this year, a fresh stimulus plan is absent from the Budget.  More generally, the Budget does nothing to address the longstanding problems of inequality, the underfunding of public services (particularly care) and the explosion of insecure employment that we came into the crisis facing and which left the country exposed to the pandemic.  In short, this is far from a programme to build back better.

All of this reinforces the need for trade unions to come together around a serious plan to mobilise our members and campaign on a distinctive trade union agenda for a New Deal for Workers.  The CWU is continuing to push this with other unions and we will keep branches updated on further actions on this.

Alongside a distinctive set of political demands, we are also calling for unions to agree common bargaining agendas within sectors and co-ordination on recruitment, with unions stepping up their efforts to recruit in new areas, as part of a push to eradicate insecurity and drive up membership.  We are currently working with unions in the parcels sector and will update branches on this in due course.  Any queries on the contents of this LTB should be addressed to jdunn@cwu.org.

Yours sincerely

Proportionality Data Interim Report

Proportionality Data Interim Report

As part of the CWU’s ongoing commitment to report annual proportionality data, the Equality Education and Development department have produced the attached interim report for branches attention.

The report illustrates the CWU’s proportionality activism for 2019-2020, specifically looking at Sex, Ethnic background and age. We have also included part time workers and representatives who hold multiple roles in the union.

The information that has been used is from our membership database which is provided by members and branches as such it is the most detailed statistics available but cannot claim to be one hundred percent accurate or complete.

The next report for 2020 – 2021 will be released later this year, which will expand on other union roles such as industrial representatives and the new regional structures brought in under re-design. This will provide a more comprehensive and detailed report of our activist make-up.

The department would like to thank branches for updating the OLS representative’s database 50% of branches have completed this exercise which is vital to improving the quality and accuracy of the information we hold. We would politely ask remaining branches that have not yet updated their database to do so by the end of March 2021.

Thank you in advance for your help and co-operation.

Any queries relating to this LTB should be directed to quality&education@cwu.org

RM/CWU Joint Statement for Additional Volumes Covid-19 Delivery of T24 Test

RM/CWU Joint Statement for Additional Volumes Covid-19 Delivery of T24 Test

Kits & Sunday Delivery of Parcels

Dear Colleagues,

Branches will be aware, that through joint working and with the support of our members Royal Mail has played a key role in the delivery and return of Covid-19 Test Kits, which is an integral part of the Government’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Testing is a vital element of the National effort to combat the coronavirus which has required us to work at pace to adapt to changing demands from the Government in respect of initiatives.  One such initiative that has become available as the pandemic has infolded is the Delivery of T24 Test Kits, which enabled orders received from the NHS into Paragon sites and the collection/delivery through the core network on Monday-Saturday and across circa 340 units on a Sunday.

Further to previous Joint Communications RMG has now advised that they have been successful in winning further contracts which will increase the overall number of test kits delivered across the week. This is due to the recognition of all the hard work that many of our members have undertaken, in order to deliver what has truly been an exceptional service in extremely challenging circumstances.

Royal Mail has been informed that volumes are likely to significantly increase in the coming weeks. As such, there will be a requirement to revise the current operational plans to increase the number of services from Mail Centres direct to the Paragon processing sites, to ensure the processing of the items at Mail Centres has been reviewed and in turn the number of Primary and Satellite Hubs in which Delivery of T24 will take place.  Primary and Satellite Hubs (remote resourcing units) will be introduced in a pragmatic way, on a without prejudice basis and will be a subject of discussion as part of the Future Pipeline Review group activity.

Sunday Delivery of Parcels – “Capturing Market Opportunities”

In line with the Pathway to Change Agreement, Royal Mail and the CWU also jointly wish to capture potential new contracts, products and volume growth, including Sunday Direct Injection to support the additional COVID test kits and consolidate Sunday as an operational day. In line with the commitments within the agreement, it is agreed that the introduction of these additional Sunday deliveries and attendances will be on a voluntary basis.  All future resourcing models will be subject to further National discussion and agreement as part of the Future Joint National Pipeline

Review process and also evaluated in line with commercial forecasts and projections.

As a consequence of both of the aforementioned factors we have been in discussions with Royal Mail in regard to agreeing a National Joint Statement to enable the required activity. That document has now been concluded and endorsed by the Postal Executive and a copy is attached for your information.

In summary the Joint Statement contains the following elements:

  • Recognises in relation to operational arrangements that both parties understand that in line with ‘The Pathway to Change Agreement’ revision activity is currently taking place through National Network Review, National PAD Revisions, National, Realignment Activity in Mail Centres and RDCs and Table Top and Structural Revisions in Delivery, all of which will need to consider any associated impacts as a result of this development.
  • Ensures full involvement of the CWU and that all activity will be undertaken on a joint basis by utilising Local Joint Working (LJWG) approach for each Mail Centre catchment area, to ensure that cross functional working is adopted.
  • Outlines the Processing and Delivery requirements in relation to operational arrangements.
  • Maintains the commitment to retention on the core Delivery network of Monday to Saturday test kits.
  • Provides a Resourcing Menu of Options to provide assistance, which include but are not limited to the following:
  • Use of hybrid duties performing core delivery and LAT parcel deliveries
  • Use of hybrid duties performing collections & LAT parcel deliveries
  • Opportunity for P/T employees to increase their contractual hours
  • Creation of Innovative Duties as part of current revision planning
  • Use of new duties and/or new recruits
  • Use of contracted Scheduled Attendances in line with current agreements
  • Review of existing Scheduled Attendance
  • Use of agency staff where there are insufficient volunteers and the options listed above have been exhausted

In addition to the above full consideration needs to be given in the circa 500 Units who are currently taking part in either Table Top or Structural Revision activity to the additional workload within the revision and duty planning process in line with the full options above.

In order to assist with the planning of these additional workload National Joint guidelines will be developed and agreed. Given the short timescales for the launch of the Sunday delivery of parcels and the further ramp up of the various Covid test kit initiatives, it may be necessary for the resourcing arrangements initially put in place to be temporary until the revision activity as outlined above is deployed within these units.
