A MESSAGE TO CWU MEMBERS – STRIKES TO GO AHEAD
We have this morning met with Royal Mail Group. CEO Simon Thompson did not attend the meeting.
We put a further offer to the company yesterday aimed at settling the dispute. Royal Mail have rejected this approach.
They have presented their proposals as a final ‘take it or leave it’ offer and the Postal Executive have just met and unanimously voted to reject their offer.
We will hold a CWU live event tonight at 7:30 pm and we want the whole union online. We will set out exactly why Royal Mail’s offer will destroy our members’ jobs, terms and conditions and the service, as we know it.
This is the most serious situation that has ever faced postal workers. We are facing compulsory redundancies and thousands more job losses than what the company will admit to. It will also result in later starts, total flexibility, Royal Mail being turned into a gig economy employer and the end of Royal Mail as a public service.
Make no mistake; this attack directly impacts every single member, workplace and function in the Royal Mail Group.
The job of all is us is to deliver the biggest ever support for strike action.
We will also hold a session with our Senior Field Officials, Branch Secretaries, Area Reps and equivalents at 5.00 p.m. todayon the following link:
