COMMUNICATION WORKERS UNION:CHRISTMAS STRIKES TO GO ON AS ROYAL MAIL CEOs IGNORE PEACE COMPROMISE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

CHRISTMAS STRIKES TO GO ON AS ROYAL MAIL CEOs IGNORE PEACE COMPROMISE

Planned Christmas strikes are set to go ahead, after Royal Mail bosses chose to ignore a peace offer from workers’ representatives to get Christmas back on track and tackle the postal backlog.

Today (Tuesday 13th December), the CWU made simple solutions to end the current dispute:
- A back-dated pay deal of 9% over 18 months;
- A long-term job security commitment from Royal Mail CEOs;
- A pause on the ongoing attacks on union representatives and members;
- A period of calm for negotiations on the future direction of the company.

In response, Royal Mail did not even offer to meet with the CWU, and has instead sent the union a 1-page document, via ACAS, at 3.45pm.
Additionally, Royal Mail also released a statement to the media at 3pm about the strikes, and released a strike-breaking video on internal social media channels aimed at breaking workers’ morale.

This now means that planned strikes on Wednesday 14th December, Thursday 15th December, Friday 23rd December and Saturday 24th December are set to go ahead.

CWU General Secretary Dave Ward said: “Today’s actions by Royal Mail CEOs show they couldn’t be less interested in resolving this dispute or saving Christmas - their sole intention is to destroy the livelihoods of over 115,000 postal workers and wreck the service they provide.

“Posties are facing an outright assault on their livelihoods and dignity, and have no choice but to see this dispute through to its conclusion.
“The reckless, aggressive and bullying attitude from senior managers of this company is now totally out of control.

“When our members take strike action on Wednesday and Thursday, the question every media outlet should be asking is not why they’re striking, but why these people are being allowed to get away with the evaporation of a 500-year-old national treasure.”

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

I wonder how many people will be getting 9% pay deals! Not many, I would think. 5% seems to be the norm in most industries.
