CPSU An Post clerical grade and pay restructuring con-ditions

CPSU An Post
Clerical grade and pay restructuring
The latest proposals for clerical grade and pay restructuring represents a complete collapse on the part of our union negotiators. From a position of strength at a time when the new CEO of An Post, Declan Curtin could not afford a dispute they appear to have lost their bottle and rolled over selling our souls.

Clerical grade and pay restructuring
The latest proposals for clerical grade and pay restructuring represents a complete collapse on the part of our union negotiators. From a position of strength at a time when the new CEO of An Post, Declan Curtin could not afford a dispute they appear to have lost their bottle and rolled over selling our souls.

*Headcount reduction of 88 posts=>20% reduction
*10% Payroll cuts implemented up front

For these we get a 10.5% allowance, Some 50:50 sharing!

Incredibly, having been sold by 2% of our POC (Post Office Clerk) Colleagues in the CWU (Communications Workers Union), the General Secretary Blair Horan has failed to secure the 4% the company witheld since February 2003 under the PPF. We remain the only union in An Post that has not attained our entitlement still and continue to tolerate it.

In addition accepts the following con-ditions

*The union accepts the company can, at management's discretion, suspend payment of the allowance at any time. Individuals will lose payment of the allowance if they fail to achieve work standard/quality of service targets that are not yet defined or disclosed
*Overtime to be eliminated resulting in less staff performing additional workload
*Outsourcing of work with negotiations with the union
*Yellow pack entry grade with yellow pack conditions
*Redeployment at management's discretion
*Merit based promotion

We are being held to ransom by the company supported by headquarters in order to have this document accepted. This blackmail should be rejected as we will forever regret it as we have been badly mislead.

Signed.
