STATEMENT TO ROYAL MAIL GROUP MEMBERS

We have met the CEO and Royal Mail Group this morning via ACAS and they have presented us with documents which we simply cannot agree to.

The CWU is willing to continue talking and we have agreed to present alternative proposals on Monday at ACAS.

The CEO has told us he has a Board meeting at 5pm on Monday and that this is effectively his deadline for negotiations to conclude. We have made it clear we are available for negotiations right up until the strike action on Thursday.

We will hold a meeting of every CWU representative in the UK at 5:30pm on Monday.

National Gate Meeting Day will take place on Tuesday.

We will hold a CWU Live event on Wednesday.

You will all recognise this is a pivotal moment. Whilst we are doing everything possible to reach an agreement, the absolute focus of every member and representative must be on delivering next week’s strike action.

Dave Ward General Secretary
