CWU Response to Royal Mail's Statement

The statement by Royal Mail is deliberately misleading.

80 per cent of postal workers quoted by Royal Mail to be working were due to be in work. The outstanding 20 per cent employed in mail centres were taking part in strike action.

The twelve mail centres named in Royal Mail statement are large mail centres which have onsite delivery offices therefore for maximum impact they are due to begin strike action on Friday.

Royal Mail’s statement is an addition to a long line of public statements filled with misconstrued information. It proves how far Royal Mail are prepared to go to mislead their employees and the public.

98 per cent of postal workers in mail centres due to take part – did so.

Strike action continues to be strongly supported.
