Bosses at Royal Mail have been forced to issue an apology, after a manager jokingly announced a substantial pay rise for 'stressed-out' striking staff - only to be later told it was a 'horrible April Fools'.
The letter claims that the organisation had 'reached an agreement' with the Communication Worker's Union - after numerous bouts of industrial action over monetary compensation and working conditions.
And now, furious staff have kicked off about the 'unprofessional' joke, citing how their pay situation is 'not a laughing matter'.
