CWU Headquarters has been informed, via its Field Officials (and not formally by Royal Mail), that the business has written to Door 2 Door customers and informed them that they will not be able to provide a normal delivery service during weeks commencing the 8th/15th and 22nd October.
Royal Mail has strongly advised these customers to keep hold of their items during these weeks and not drop them at the Walk Bundling Centre.
Equally, they have advised hauliers acting on behalf of customers that they can leave the items at the Walk Bundling Centres, whilst Royal Mail make contact with the customers and potentially make arrangements for those items to be recollected.
The immediate impact of this action is the lack of work in Walk Bundling Centres during this period. Local Representatives are therefore advised to engage with their local managers, in line with the IR Framework, and seek to reach agreement on staffing issues during this period in a similar fashion to the negotiations that take place during the Christmas period when Door 2 Door collections traditionally cease.
