We are pleased to inform Branches that we have reached an in-principle agreement with the company in order to settle the 2025/26 pay claim.

The draft agreement was today unanimously endorsed by the Postal Executive with a recommendation to our members to vote ‘YES’ in the forthcoming ballot.

Attached to this LTB is the pay offer along with the draft agreement.

The main points of the agreement are:

Cleaners and Warehouse Operatives

A total 5% uplift in the hourly rate to the Real Living Wage Foundation recommendation of £12.60 for all cleaners and warehouse operatives and £13.85 for our London based cleaners.

Maintenance of the 50p differential for mobile cleaners meaning an uplift for this group to £13.10 National and £14.35 for London.

Engineering and Generic Admin Grades:

A 4.2% increase in basic pay. This matches the increase achieved in the rest of the Royal Mail Group.

The increase will flow through to overtime and non-cash allowances and is effective from 1st April 2025 for all grades.

A target date of 31st October to conclude and finalise an agreement on progression in the Technical Grade Structure review.
