The CWU has denied the 'embarrassing' and 'untrue' allegations, insisting that picketing since the start of strikes has been peaceful
Royal Mail has clashed with the main union representing postal workers as they staged another strike in the long-running dispute over jobs, pay and conditions.
Royal Mail said more than 100 allegations of incidents including violence and harassment have been reported over the four months of the CWU’s industrial action, with 35 cases reported to the police. Royal Mail said it had reported picket line incidents to police in Lancashire, Scotland, Northern Ireland, West Midlands, London, Kent, Norfolk, Devon & Cornwall, and Gwent.A Royal Mail spokesperson said: “This behaviour has no place in any civilised workplace.
“We have zero tolerance for bullying or harassment. We will continue to support any employee who works on a strike day. A CWU spokesperson said: “These allegations are as embarrassing as they are untrue. For a chief executive who spends his every waking hour, intimidating, gaslighting and mocking our members online, to have the front to target others for wholly legal and friendly picketing is beyond a joke.
