Membership
Cards
We
apologise for the delay due to a number of factors outside
our control. However these issues have now been resolved and
your new UDW membership card will be issued shortly. The design
has been finalised and is currently at the printer. Also look
out for your UDW pocket diary and pen.
Long
Service Awards
Would
all UDW members please note that DHL has introduced a new
long service award. Members should make themselves familiar
with the new scheme. (Ask your manager for a copy)
The
UDW successfully challenged the company decision not to recognise
15 years service. Existing employees up to the date of the
introduction of the new scheme should ensure that they receive
their award.
The UDW have written to the company seeking confirmation that
UDW members employed at the date of introduction of the new
scheme will have the choice of either, electing to receive
awards under the old Securicor scheme or, electing to receive
the awards under the new scheme. If you have any questions,
please contact a UDW representative. If you do not wish to
receive your long service award under the new scheme, you
should make it clear to the company in writing that you consider
the former Securicor long service scheme to be a contractual
benefit forming part of your terms and conditions.
OTW
and Benchmarking
News
has reached the UDW that an OTW team (Optimising Tours and
Warehousing) will be looking at all delivery and collection
runs with the possibility of benchmark reviews starting early
in the new year.
REMEMBER!...
The P.R.P agreement stands. Service centre managers should
not be introducing a BLANKET BENCHMARK. There is a process
that needs to take place, where by the driver will have the
right to a one to one consultation with their line manager,
to discuss the run and once both have agreed to a workable
benchmark, then both will sign the P.R.P consultation form.
If you do not agree with the benchmark you are being set,
you have a right to challenge the decision through the grievance
procedure.
P.R.P
was introduced to make the driver and vehicle more productive
WITHIN the drivers contracted hours. REMEMBER!... The OTW
only make recommendations, we are sure that local management
have the sense to manage appropriately. If any member or DHL
employee has any concerns regarding OTW or benchmark increases
do not hesitate to contact your UDW representative.
Wage
Slips
The
UDW have raised the issue of the lack of your hourly rate
appearing on the modified wage slips, and we have asked the
company to re-instate the hourly rate as a matter of urgency.
