  • Cwu Submission to Ofcom: Royal Mail Access Pricing Review
    24 February 2015 CWU SUBMISSION TO OFCOM: ROYAL MAIL ACCESS PRICING REVIEW Introduction 1. The Communication Workers Union (CWU) is the largest trade union in the communications sector, representing over 200,000 workers in the postal, telecommunications and financial services industries. We are the recognised trade union for around 140,000 non-managerial staff at Royal Mail and are therefore an important stakeholder in the postal sector, speaking on behalf of our members both as workers within the industry and as users of postal services. We welcome this opportunity to respond to Ofcom’s Royal Mail Access Pricing Review and have tailored our response to respond to the consultation questions most relevant to our membership and on which we believe we are best placed to comment. Ofcom’s proposed amendments to zonal access pricing regulation 2. Ofcom is concerned that the existing Universal Service Provider (USP) access condition is not working as it envisioned in 2012 and may not promote efficiency, promote effective competition, and confer significant benefits on the users of postal services. It believes quick regulatory intervention is needed to reduce the risks to end-to-end competitors, such as Whistl, from the current pricing flexibility Royal Mail is afforded on zonal access mail. Ofcom says the current USP access condition allows Royal Mail to distinguish between different types of operator and introduce very significant year-on-year changes in access charges. It is concerned at the uncertainty and disruption this presents to access operators. 3. Royal Mail’s 2013/14 proposed changes to zonal access charges, currently suspended, would change the gradient of the ‘Zonal tilt’1 by introducing reductions in the London and Urban zones where end-to-end entrants are most likely to operate whilst increasing prices in Suburban and Rural Zones in which they are least likely to operate.

The national postal operator in Denmark said the disruption to its communications systems also meant that customers were unable to contact customer service regarding their inability to track their packages. Despite the problems, the company insisted yesterday that it is now back to delivering letters and parcels on time. Post & Parcel: PostNL will be increasing its prices from the beginning of August, with the basic rate for a domestic letter rising 11% to 60c. The Dutch postal service said the rate increases are necessary to counter the impacts of the country’s 8-10% annual decline in mail volumes. Letters going to European destinations will see rates rise to 96c, while letters going to the rest of the world will be charged at EUR 1. Business rates will also increase from 1st August, the company said. The basic rate for franked mail will be EUR 0.52. Despite beginning a “rigorous” series of restructuring effort and cost-saving plans, PostNL said its universal postal service is loss- making as a result of the large volume declines, while it continues to meet its obligation to guarantee mail delivery within 24 hours and maintain networks of 2,000 post offices and 15,000 mailboxes.

[EdNote: In this environment, can postal reform have even a hair's breadth of a chance?] Financial: A new draft law on postal service that has established the Georgian Post monopoly is not meeting either EU regulations or general conditions of a competitive business environment, said Malkhaz Papelashvili, General Manager at Georgian Express, official representative of DHL Georgia. The company sees huge opportunity in expanding its business in complex logistic and domestic transportation during 2014. Georgia’s express industry showed only 3-4% growth during 2013. The United States Postal Service is planning to resume the rationalization of our network of mail processing facilities which began in 2012. To provide adequate time for planning and preparation, the Postal Service is providing this six-month advance notice of consolidations, for up to 82 facilities, which will begin early January 2015 and be completed by the fall mailing season. The Postal Service will provide detailed information about its network rationalization planning in the coming weeks.

Former mailman Richard Farrell was accused of burning letters back in 2010 and now he's admitting that what he didn't burn, he buried in his backyard. Police have found the burial ground for 35,000 pieces of mail in Belfair, Washington. The mailman says he did it because he didn't like his job and he wanted to spend his days at a local tavern instead of working.

January 31, 2011 Times Live: "Floods and snow are to blame for the late delivery of mail posted in Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States to South Africa, says the Post Office. Items sent from these countries in December 2010 were now starting to be distributed locally, head of mail business at the Post Office, Janras Kotsi, said in a statement on Monday. Flooding and snow severely hampered postal services in those countries. "These postal operators have assured us that they are doing everything within their means to ensure their mail operations get back to normal as soon as possible. "We therefore want to assure our customers that these mail items were not delayed as a result of our operations, but by conditions abroad."
