Royal Mail and union reach potential agreement after a year of talks over pay dispute
A deadlock in negotiations between the Royal Mail and postal workers which has led to strikes and major disruption of the UK's letter and parcel deliveries may be over. Today bosses and union leaders issued a joint statement.
Earlier this month talks between Royal Mail and the union ended without a deal, raising the prospect of further strikes. The dispute has lasted for almost a year, with 18 days of strikes held between August and the end of 2022. The CWU won a strong mandate to take further action in a member ballot in February, and its leaders were considering further strikes in April if talks failed.
