Both agreements have now been endorsed by the membership. We would like to place on record our thanks to all representatives and members who have supported the Union throughout the dispute.




It is now important we all concentrate on delivering the agreements and dealing with the other major challenges facing the Union’s membership.

We will be contacting Royal Mail asking them to ensure the pay increases, lump sum and back pay are incorporated into pay before Christmas.

Could all Branches please ensure the ballot results are circulated to every workplace and brought to the attention of the membership as soon as possible.

Yours sincerely
