Unless Royal Mail makes a substantial increase to its 2.5 per cent pay offer in the next few days the union will meet on Wednesday to set strike dates.

Isn't that an equivalent of a football bung and would it be legal, trying to blackmail Postcon

The CWU HQ will notify the members before any strike dates are set,don't rely on the press coverage.

Your Reps will keep you informed

There is a PEC on Wednesday so if there is no progress then dates are likely to be set. These dates may or may not be released yet depending on how the talks are going.

HQ want to give RM every chance to come back around the table.
