The latest news on Industrial Action

The Communication Workers Union (CWU) has formally notified Royal Mail they plan to call on their members who collect, sort and deliver parcels and letters to take national strike action on Friday 9, Sunday 11, Wednesday 14, Thursday 15 December 2022, Friday 23 December and Saturday 24 December 2022.

Royal Mail has well-developed contingency plans, but we cannot fully replace the daily efforts of our frontline workforce. We’ll be doing what we can to keep services running, but we’re sorry this planned strike action is likely to cause you some disruption.
