Royal Mail workers are to strike on Christmas Eve as well as five more days throughout December as a long-running dispute over pay, jobs and conditions continues. Members of the Communication Workers Union (CWU) will walk out on December 9, 11, 14, 15, 23 and 24.
This is on top of strikes already notified for November 24, 25 and 30, and December 1. Royal Mail has been holding what it described as "intensive" talks with the CWU in a bid to resolve the dispute.
A CWU spokesperson said: “The CWU want a negotiated settlement with Royal Mail Group and will continue to engage the company to that end. But those in charge of Royal Mail need to wake up and realise we won’t allow them to destroy the livelihoods of postal workers.”
