MTSF
CWU HQ has held a number of meetings with the business to discuss the incorporation of the various amendments made to MTSF in recent years into a single revised MTSF document. The attached document, which also incorporates small changes to reflect current organisation and practice, is the final version and incorporates all previous changes made to the agreement since 2003.
Branches should note that Appendix 10 on "Re-employment after Redundancy…" did not form part of the original MTSF agreement between CWU and RMG, but was noted by the union as management policy. This appendix, unlike the rest of the document, remains simply a management policy. It seems sensible, however, to include it in the document to ensure awareness. RMG has also produced a number of standard forms associated with the agreement, on which we have been consulted. The intension is to ensure that there is a common approach from all managers in dealing with MTSF issues.
