Please log on for members Q & As about the details of our submission. Comments are open on this topic for general information only.
There is a fair bit of chatter on twitter about the social value of the post office network. For anyone interested in that concept we provide some useful information on what that is
The formal submission is now underway and the clock is now ticking. LPOG has requested an interim determination (within 28 days) to allow for a more constructive participation in the upcoming round of negotiations for the annual review of the payments adjusted annually. We anticipate that interim determination will be handed down within that time frame, and will allow us to act accordingly.
On Monday the 8th May, the relevant documents that form the formal lodgement will be submitted to the ACCC. This includes the names of all financial members who have provided consent for their name to appear as a participant in the application to the ACCC for Collective Bargaining approval.
On behalf of the 160 licensees who sent in their consent forms in the last 2 days, thank you to the thoughtful and considerate LPOG members who took time out of their own work day on Thursday and Friday, to call around with their list of outstanding LPOs to remind them to get it in.
It is this sort of sharing and caring that has made LPOG a pleasure to be part of.
Many Licensees are finding that the POMs self payment option is not available far too often. Some Licensees are suggesting that their pay is not available more than 30% of attempts.
Australia Post advises that the POMs self pay is very rarely down, but that does not match Licensees experience.
Australia Post spends a lot of resources, financial and otherwise, trying to engage with Licensees in networking and providing information via LEEP meetings and state LPO conferences.
