@owenjonesjourno A win by a right wing populist party in a former safe working class labour seat in the north of England would be existential.

What's the outcome that terrifies Labour most in the Gorton by-election? Reform winning? Nope. It's the Greens they're most worried about. They'd prefer Reform to win, rather than the Greens.

@CWUnews Here we are in January when you promised us all the outstanding issues would be agreed and balloted on by December 2nd . You added the section 5 issues into our pay ballot to get a yes vote. And when are you going to negotiate next year's pay rise when inflation is more than 2%?

Our General Secretary shares a Christmas message of thanks, solidarity and hope for our members🎄See you in the New Year ✨

@Mightymj1 @owenjonesjourno @mehdirhasan Is that you, Jeremy ?

@owenjonesjourno @mehdirhasan Highly likely a false flag committed by Israel…don’t fall for it.

A sickening antisemitic attack on Australian Jews. There's no cause it's driven by, and no cause it advances, other than hatred.

@MySportsUpdate When’s the last time a QB had both an interception and a fumble in the same play?

@CWUnews Next week has been and gone and we still haven't had an update. Just a reminder your final deadline that YOU promised the section 5 deal would be all signed off is tomorrow, December 2nd.

A message from the General Secretary. CWU members have sent 15,000 emails to MPs on the situation in Royal Mail. We are also seeing images from meetings across the UK backing the union and rejecting Royal Mails failed USO proposals. We will update reps and members next week on the whole situation but for now please keep contacting your MPs and please keep the workplace meetings coming. EMAIL YOUR MP NOW cwu.org/mp-protect-pos…

@DarrenLye1 @CWUnews I'm looking for a 2nd job as I literally don't earn enough to pay my bills any longer after years of below inflation pay 'rises'.

@TutsselDavid @CWUnews With most of the allowances gone from back in the good days it really is a low paid job now

@ScottHanson Who told you Gaelic Football is played in Northern Ireland!?

Thanks for watching NFL RedZone week 13. 5 more to go!

@CWUnews You're the ones who told us you had a legally binding groundbreaking agreement. You're the ones who told us to accept a pitiful pay rise of 65p a week over 3 years by bundling the section 5 issues into the same ballot. And now you're telling us to do the negotiation for you

@TutsselDavid No. We are asking you to do a very simple thing as part of an overall strategy. Being a union member isn’t a spectator sport. It’s about getting involved and helping to shape things.

🚨 CALLING ALL ROYAL MAIL GROUP MEMBERS -WRITE TO YOUR MP NOW 🚨 We collectively need to expose what has been happening in Royal Mail. You can help us to do that by writing to your MP about quality of service failures, the failed USO pilots, the need to equalise new entrants terms and conditions and more. We have made this as easy as possible. Simply click the link below and in a few seconds you will have emailed your MP. It is vital all members in Royal Mail back this initiative. Please put ‘done’ in the comments when you have submitted your letter 💪 cwu.org/mp-protect-pos…

@CWUnews Stop playing student union politics and sort out our terms and conditions sick pay and overtime rates. You're pathetic.

📹 We're live at 5pm! After our successful political forum last week, CWU political lead Chloe Koffman joins us for this week's CWU Live to discuss the main political issues the union is grappling with. Our relationship with the Labour party, the rise of Reform, and what we are doing to raise political education in the union. youtube.com/watch?v=faZ_ZK…

@mightywhitesfc @CWUnews They actually said the 1st step would be implemented in September not just agreed. And here we are end of October and nothing

@CWUnews Basically the CWU has been led up the garden path AGAIN! You told new entrants that first steps would be announced in September and there's still nothing for them. You also said the full ep agreement would be finalised in December, some hope of that now. What a shambles.

UPDATE FOR ROYAL MAIL GROUP MEMBERS CWU members will be aware of a communication issued yesterday by Royal Mail confirming they will no longer be seeking any further deployment of USO reform until 2026. This is a position the union communicated many weeks ago and it has now been confirmed openly by the business. This is welcomed. Our priority now will be fixing the issues in the USO pilot units. We want to make it clear to members that we will not be reaching an agreement on Royal Mail’s ODM model. It has failed. At the same time, they point to these USO negotiations and their complexity as one reason for the delay in the implementation of resolutions for all outstanding issues from section 5 of the EP Group / CWU agreement - which of course includes the first step in equalising new entrants’ terms and conditions. We do not accept this position. We are also extremely concerned at the continued degrading of quality of service across the UK which culminated last week in a record £21m fine from OFCOM. Every CWU member will know the reality is even worse than this with mail failures being in many cases underreported. This lack of honesty and integrity from Royal Mail continues to be a major concern for everybody who cares about the future of the business. The CWU will continue to make the case in negotiations for the full implementation of the EP Group / CWU agreement at the earliest opportunity with any overdue issues like the new entrants’ terms and conditions being backdated as appropriate. We will also be directly engaging the government now on the lack of progress since the EP Group takeover, the need for a complete overhaul in the way OFCOM regulate the postal industry and how we level the playing field and tackle unfair competition. Our Postal Executive have agreed an extensive engagement plan with our members and all these issues, and we have today shared this with our branches. In the coming days and weeks, we will directly engage with local representatives and members to ensure you are a key part of how we challenge Royal Mail, truly re-set employee and industrial relations and rebuild quality of service in our workplaces. Our final message today is to thousands of new entrants across the country - the best way of delivering equalisation is by you joining the CWU. The company have already shown that if they believe they can avoid improving your terms and conditions they will. We will hold them to the words we have secured, and we will deliver fairness - every new entrant that joins strengthens our hand.

@CWUnews So when you said 'The protracted nature of these negotiations has also impacted on other areas of the agreement including agreeing the first step in equalising new entrants' terms and conditions.' on Oct 2nd you were lying?

@CWUnews The correct sequencing of the section 5 agreement would have seen an agreement on sick pay and the first step of pay equalisation implemented on September 2nd.

USO Reform   We met with EP Group last Thursday and they confirmed that given the differences that remain between Royal Mail and CWU on the approach to deploying USO Reform, alongside the need for all parties to now focus on preparing properly for the pending peak period, there will be no further deployment of the USO this year, beyond the existing 35 pilot sites. The Union believes this is the right decision and represents a pragmatic response from the company to resolving these crucial issues, allowing for further talks to prioritise the need to reach an agreement that deploys a workable and sustainable solution, rather than one that is based on pre-determined and unrealistic savings. EP Group/CWU Agreement   The decision not to deploy any further USO reform this year also reflects the correct sequencing of the commitments made in section 5 of the EP Group/CWU agreement.   Both parties have now agreed to intensify discussions from next week to resolve all the outstanding section 5 issues.

@CWUnews First stage of this was supposed to be agreed by September 2nd. Here we are on the 6th and no news whatsoever.

More of your life back, for the same pay. Equalisation will cut the full-time working week from 40 to 37 hours without a loss in earnings. This is a game-changer for new entrants. Back our negotiations and join the CWU today.

@brothheed @CWUnews New deal isn't 10% of profits. It's 10% of money taken as dividends by the owners. 20% of £12m among 100,000 employees is £24 each (before tax.)

@CWUnews So with todays new from RM making a profit last tax yr, question is do we get 20% of the profits as our last pay deal which covered that tax yr was staff get 20% of any profit, not the new deal of only 10%

Big news for part-time employees… Equalisation is set to increase the hourly rate, meaning an extra pay rise for new entrants. This is what the CWU are negotiating for. Secure your future, join the CWU.

@CWUnews Today, September 2nd, is 3 months since the new owners took over. As 3 months was the first deadline for agreeing workplace improvements, when will we get an announcement?

@MarcAnthonyC1 @CWUnews Equalisation is only necessary after the previous pay deal which the union unanimously recommended, which introduced a two-tier workforce. You're just fixing a problem you initially agreed to.

@CWUnews This is exactly why everyone I speak to are proud to be a member. Equalisation on this scale will be unprecedented

Equalisation means you'll finally receive the functional supplements you deserve. Want to make it happen? The CWU is fighting for it right now. Join us and help us win.

@dazzapost @CWUnews It's wiped out by inflation as well . In real terms, we're getting 65p a week before tax over 3 years.

REBUILDING ROYAL MAIL GROUP PARTS ONE AND TWO - MEMBERS BALLOT RESULT TO ALL BRANCHES The verified and independently run ballot result for the Rebuilding Royal Mail Group parts one and two vote is below: Yes 79.5% No 20.5% This is a very strong yes vote of around 4 to 1. It is an emphatic endorsement of the unions position and the agreements we have reached. The turnout was 43.5% This is comparable with most pay ballots of this nature. The backpay due as a result of this agreement will be paid to weekly paid employees on 26th September. It will be paid to monthly paid employees on 30th September. This will include backpay on overtime, scheduled attendance and all elements of pay. We will be issuing wider communications tomorrow on the EP Group / CWU agreement. We are also in the process of arranging an online briefing for all CWU local representatives and a live session for members. Thank you for your support. Yours sincerely, Martin Walsh Deputy General Secretary Postal Dave Ward General Secretary

@Pressure72 @CharliePDG @CWUnews We're only guaranteed 2% if inflation is at or below 2% (it won't be). You've been misinformed.

@CharliePDG @CWUnews No negotiations needed, just voted for 2% for the next two years 🤦🏻‍♂️
