Royal Mail strikes threaten to cause Christmas 'mail meltdown' if pay breakthrough not found, warns union leader
A union leader warned that there could be a Christmas 'mail meltdown' if a breakthrough over issues including pay is not found between Royal Mail bosses and postal workers.
Communication Workers Union general secretary Dave Ward claimed that “posties are willing to bend over backwards to clear [the backlog," while Royal Mail has said it will deliver as much priority mail as possible on strike days. The row centres on issues including pay, redundancies and start times. CWU claims Royal Mail wants to become a parcel courier reliant on casual labour and the union has accused boss Simon Thompson of refusing to attend what it claimed was a key meeting last week.
