Royal Mail strikes planned for Black Friday weekend and through the festive period are set to go ahead after talks to resolve a dispute failed to reach a resolution.
Members of the Communication Workers Union will walk out again - disrupting deliveries for ten days, including in the run-up to Christmas.
The company said it was also committing to no compulsory redundancies until the end of March 2023 at the earliest.Simon Thompson, Royal Mail’s chief executive said: “Talks have lasted for seven months and we have made numerous improvements and two pay offers, which would now see up to a 9% pay increase over 18 months alongside a host of other enhancements. This is our best and final offer.
“The strikes have already added £100 million to Royal Mail’s losses so far this year. In a materially loss making company, with every additional day of strike action we are facing the difficult choice of about whether we spend our money on pay and protecting jobs, or on the cost of strikes.”
