Royal Mail Strike To Hit Several Days In December - Better Post Very Early for Christmas

19th November 2022

Royal Mail workers are to stage six more strikes next month, including on Christmas Eve, in a long-running dispute over pay, jobs and conditions.

The Communication Workers' Union (CWU) said its members would walk out on 9, 11, 14, 15, 23 and 24 of December.

That is in addition to strikes already notified for November 24, 25 and 30, and 1 December.

The CWU said it still wanted a negotiated settlement but that bosses needed "to wake up and realise we won't allow them to destroy the livelihoods of postal workers".

It said a 2% pay deal had been imposed at a time when inflation had hit 11.1% and the company is making hundreds of millions in profit.
