London Postal strike 19th June
12th June 09 : Union rep
The Union have served Royal Mail with 138 notices for strike action in London next Friday into Saturday.
Ten thousand postal workers in all areas of deliveries, collections and processing across London will take industrial action for 24 hours starting from the early shift on Friday 19th June.
Dave Ward statement
Lazy copy/paste from cwu.org
"Royal Mail is blocking modernisation by refusing to negotiate change with the CWU."
"We have offered a moratorium on all strike action if Royal Mail will suspend executive action and enter into meaningful negotiations. We want to bring forward the successful transformation of the business by working together. They need to honour the 2007 national agreement and work with us to achieve that."
"There is growing unrest across the country as Royal Mail tries to impose damaging cuts and changes without the input of union reps. The future of the business must be safeguarded through careful planning, not shooting from the hip."
"Postal workers deliver a first class service but the current cuts and attitude of management threatens that and worsens services."
"Royal Mail can avert this strike action by pulling back from arbitrary cuts and negotiating modernisation with the CWU."
More than ten thousand postal workers in all areas of deliveries, collections and processing across London will take industrial action for 24 hours starting from the early shift on Friday 19th June. Further strike action will be announced if no progress is made.
Royal Mail spokesman
"A strike will not modernise Royal Mail - it will simply disrupt the service to which customers are entitled, lead to an even greater loss of business and leave Royal Mail far less able to protect full time jobs."
"Productivity in Royal Mail offices in London already lags behind the rest of the UK with the productivity in parts of London now 10% worse than the UK average."
"We are only putting in place changes which are already agreed with the CWU as part of the 2007 deal."
