DEAL STRUCK TO ENDPOSTAL DISPUTE
The working week will be cut and postal workers will have greater job security, while agreeing to deliver a “transformation” of the business.
The Communication Workers Union (CWU) said workers will also receive lump sums of around 2,500 as well as weekly basic pay supplements and other improvements such as extra maternity and paternity pay.
The deal averts the threat of fresh disruption, although it is subject to a ballot of union members. The Royal Mail and CWU have been holding peace talks for over two months.
