The Communication Workers Union executive has endorsed a rotten deal with the Royal mail to bring an end to the postal workers’ dispute.
The CWU is citing an improved offer from Royal Mail on pay, pensions and working practices, but as yet there is little to indicate any significant differences with the agreement endorsed last week by the union’s negotiating team with Adam Crozier, Royal Mail’s chief executive.
The executive was split on acceptance of that deal and went back for further discussions. It has now said it will ballot its 130,000 members on acceptance.
The CWU had previously warned that Royal Mail was seeking to impose measures that would lead to 40,000 job losses, but now says that it has settled “all areas of the dispute.â€
