Talks to resolve the ongoing dispute with the Post Office over pay and job security broke down this afternoon (Wednesday) after several of the union's key suggestions to move things forward were dismissed by the business.

Having taken the decision to put further strike action on hold after receiving a letter from Post Office boss Kevin Gilliland last week inviting the CWU to "discuss ways of resolving the current dispute", the CWU is "disappointed" that today's talks ended acrimoniously.


CWU national official and lead negotiator, Andy Furey said:, "It was clear that the Post Office had no intention of improving its pay offer and indeed expected us to sign up to their plans around transformation which is the very reason 88 per cent of our members voted for strike action in the first place.

"Evidently, the Post Office is in denial about the strength of feeling from our members in Crown Offices affected by this dispute.

"Further strike action is now inevitable," Andy concluded.

Sign of things to come from RM on our pay deal?

I've been saying so for a while. Just hope people will fight. Can see a major disagreement with RM this year.
