Royal Mail workers will continue to be taking strike action in the lead up to Christmas. Members of the Communication Workers Unions (CWU) will be taking part in days of strike action today (December 15), December 23 and December 24.
The CWU and Royal Mail have held talks in recent weeks but remain deadlocked as workers prepare to join picket lines outside sorting and delivery offices across the UK. A Royal Mail spokesperson said: “The CWU is striking at our busiest time, deliberately holding Christmas to ransom for our customers, businesses and families across the country.
"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.
