Evri -Rates Update
Dear members
We have been notified of notifications being issued by the company to members about rate reductions and changes to cover rates. Earlier this week we had asked the company for an urgent meeting to discuss these notifications and there is a meeting scheduled for Friday this week, in which your NC would be able to get the information from the company as to what has happened and then update members shortly afterwards.
At present the company have stated that no SE+ members are affected, as they have the rate protection as negotiated by the Heads of Agreement 2023 in place. The company have said this affects a small number of lifestyle couriers and LCB’s. At our meeting we will ascertain the facts and keep you updated.
GMB members have said that they have been told by their CDMs of rate reductions. The company have stressed that this should not have happened and that GMB members are protected by the 2023 Heads of Agreement. We will be asking the company for confirmation of their plans for any rate cuts from June onwards and that we will be pressing for rate protection during the negotiations.
We will update you following the discussions.
