The BBC has been criticised by a trade union for 'peddling the company line' during an interview on potential strike action by workers in the Royal Mail
He said: “It’s been announced that Royal Mail workers are to stage six fresh strikes next month including on Christmas eve in their long-running dispute over pay.
But Ward said that the journalist’s framing of the strike did not accurately reflect the workers reasons for taking industrial action.“Postal workers up and down the UK, 120,000 of them, are facing the biggest ever attack on jobs terms and conditions and the services that we provide to the public. “You’re wrong again, I’m sorry,” said Ward. “If you research your facts, what’s cost the company a huge amount in finances is them giving away over £567 million of a £758 million profit to shareholders.”
