Royal Mail workers have voted overwhelmingly to accept a deal to end a long-running dispute over pay, jobs and conditions.
Members of the Communication Workers Union backed the agreement by 75%. The union said the vote signals the end of the dispute, which saw more than 115,000 workers take 18 days of strike action in the final quarter of last year.
CWU general secretary Dave Ward said: "This has been the most challenging period in both the history of the union and the company, and I want to thank every single member that has voted in this ballot. Our members will know it doesn't end with today's result - we all know what is going on in workplaces across the UK and we are going to deal with it.
