Branches will recall that LTB 254/09 dated 19th March 2009 reported that a Pay Claim for 2009 had been submitted to the Quadrant business unit.
The department is pleased to report that following what have been extensive and difficult talks in the current climate, that an agreement has been reached with the business.
In order to provide you with the relevant information in regard to the pay agreement and to you assist with any members’ queries you may receive please find attached the document ratified by the Postal Executive at its meeting yesterday. Branches will note that the key elements of the agreement are as follows:
Ø A 2% increase in basic pay and allowances backdated to 1st April 2009
Ø Allowances paid for the 1st month while on sick leave/pay
Ø Members on maximum leave allowances will now have the opportunity to purchase an extra week’s leave in line with those currently under the max.
Ø Full paid maternity leave to be increased from 39 to 40 weeks.
Ø A move to monthly pay with full support mechanisms including interest free loans of up to three weeks pay, for those who wish to utilise that facility.
Ø A one year pay deal with the next pay review date being the 1st April 2010.
Ø Agreement and commitment to the introduction of the ‘Table of Success’ process and relationship ideology in Quadrant.
The agreement will be subject to an individual member’s ballot and Branches will be informed of the details for the ballot when arrangements have been finalised and this will be done as soon as is practical.
In the meantime Branches are requested to ensure that our representatives and members are made aware of this correspondence.
Any enquiries should be addressed to Terry Pullinger, Assistant Secretary, email dwyatt@cwu.org, quoting reference 301.
Yours sincerely
Terry Pullinger
