Royal Mail workers have walked out on strike and members of the Communication Workers Union (CWU) are planning seven more strikes in December, including Christmas Eve. The union said its members will be in London on December 9 for the “biggest strike demonstration this country has ever seen”.
CWU general secretary Dave Ward said: “Royal Mail bosses are risking a Christmas meltdown because of their stubborn refusal to treat their employees with respect. Postal workers want to get on with serving the communities they belong to, delivering Christmas gifts and tackling the backlog from recent weeks.
“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.
