POSTAL workers have served notice to Royal Mail bosses that they will be balloting for national strike action next week.
The CWU will begin balloting 110,000 members at the Royal Mail Group (RMG) on September 24.
Workers are angry about the proposed fragmentation of the RMG, and are concerned that bosses are not honouring national postal agreements on terms and conditions.
Royal Mail’s job quality has plummeted, with gruelling hours, two-tier pay, intense surveillance, and poor work-life balance for postal workers — but our union is fighting back, writes CWU branch secretary JOHN CARSON
CWU leader DAVE WARD tells Ben Chacko a strategy to unite workers on class lines is needed – and sectoral collective bargaining must be at its heart
Since 2023, Strike Map has evolved from digital mapping at a national level to organising ‘mega pickets’ — we believe that mass solidarity with localised disputes prepares the ground for future national action, writes HENRY FOWLER
