As you will be aware, the correct procedure to deal with such losses is the Losses and Gains Procedure,
which is not only agreed with the CWU; it is also contractual, being part of the Crown Office Staffing
Agreement (COSA). Please find enclosed a copy of the agreed Losses & Gains Procedure for your reference.
I must make it clear that on behalf of our member I fundamentally object to the inappropriate use of the
Conduct Code instead of the agreed Losses & Gains Procedure and am therefore advising our member to
lodge a formal grievance to a higher authority. Unfortunately there is a need to reiterate Martin Rouse,
former Regional Manager’s position confirmed at a recent meeting with the Union when he committed to
ensuring that all managers use the collectively agreed Losses and Gains Procedure as “their first port of
call”. Consequently the broad reason for the grievance is the inappropriate use of the Conduct Code for a
loss that should have been dealt with under the Losses and Gains Procedure.
I will also be reporting this breach of the Losses & Gains Procedure to our Headquarters who have already
been in discussions with senior Post Office management regarding our concerns in this matter.
Yours sincerely
