The Communication Workers Union (CWU) says plans for job losses at the Post Office are 'tone deaf'.
A union representing Post Office staff has lashed out at proposals that could result in 115 branch closures and significantly more than 1,000 workers losing their jobs, by describing them as 'immoral'. The Communication Workers Union signalled a fight ahead as the Post Office confirmed details of its transformation plan - first revealed by Sky News on Tuesday.
He told staff on Wednesday that postmasters could expect up to £120m in additional remuneration by the end of the first year of the plan, representing a 30% increase in revenue share - tackling long-held complaints about poor rewards for postmasters' work. Promises of less red tape and a better voice in decision-making were also included.
