Union bosses and Royal Mail have held talks in recent weeks but remain deadlocked
Royal Mail workers will continue to be taking strike action in the lead up to Christmas. Members of the Communication Workers Unions will be taking part in days of strike action today , December 23 and December 24.
"We are doing everything we can to deliver Christmas for our customers, and would like to thank the increasing number of posties returning to work each strike day, temporary workers and managers from across the business who are helping to keep the mail moving. However, this task becomes more challenging as Christmas nears. Three weeks ago, we made a best and final pay offer worth up to 9% over 18 months.
“But they know their value, and they will not meekly accept the casualisation of their jobs, the destruction of their conditions and the impoverishment of their families. This can be resolved if Royal Mail begin treating their workers with respect, and meet with the union to resolve this dispute.”
