Royal Mail safe from strikes before Christmas

No primary category set

Good news is coming out of the latest round of talks between the Royal Mail and CWU. Roger Poole, who is overseeing negotiotions said that “progress is being made and agreements are being reached on some issues, or are close to agreement; some topics still have a way to go”.

Even better at their last formal review meeting held on Friday they discussed what the key issues are across the process and all parties are committed to an intensive series of negotiations this week with the next formal review to be held on Tuesday 22 December.

By the 22nd they hope significant progress will have been made towards a final agreement, but for online retailers that pretty much takes us up to Christmas with no more threats of industrial action being called by the CWU prior to the holidays starting.
