TO: ALL BRANCHES WITH POSTAL MEMBERS

Dear Colleague

POL: SUPPLY CHAIN PAY AGREEMENT - BALLOT TIMETABLE

Further to LTB 949/07, POL Supply Chain Pay Agreement, I am able to inform you the ballot timetable is as follows:

Ballot papers despatched - 28^th November 2007

Ballot closes - 12^th December 2007

Separate ballots for the pay agreements at POL Crown Offices and POL Admin will be held simultaneously to the above.

The Postal Executive has unanimously endorsed the agreement and is recommending that members vote 'yes' in the ballot.

If the agreement is endorsed by members then arrears will be paid in December in time for Christmas. A pay bulletin giving full details of the agreement will accompany ballot papers and will be available in due course.

Full details of the agreement including a copy of the formal pay offer letter can be viewed at www.cwu.org/links/poldispute2007
