British trade union CWU demanded Royal mail enter negotiations for a “straight, no-strings” pay rise
Over 115,000 postal workers at Royal Mail have voted in favour of a national strike, British trade union CWU said, as it demanded the London-listed company enter negotiations for a “straight, no-strings” pay rise.
If the strike were to go ahead, it would likely be the biggest industrial action taken by workers this summer, the union said. The ballot saw 97.6% votes in favour of taking action on a 77% turnout.The company, amongst the oldest postal groups in the world, had shown caution in its last profit guidance, saying that meeting forecasts this year depended on the CWU agreeing a pay deal that was ‘broadly in line’ with its offer.
