Postal workers urge Royal Mail to sit down seriously
POSTAL workers have urged Royal Mail to “sit down seriously” with the Communication Workers Union (CWU) after the union dismissed the company’s latest offer of a deal as an “absolute disgrace.”
The Royal Mail group announced late on Friday night that it had offered a new settlement to its workers, who voted overwhelmingly in October for strike action over ongoing problems with pay and conditions.
On a video posted to Twitter, an actor employed by Royal Mail said the company wished to enter into “detailed talks” with CWU representatives about their new proposal, which includes a three-year pay deal.
