Royal Mail plagued by ‘disease’ of high worker turnover, posties warn
Workers sort cards and letters at the Royal Mail Peterborough Mail Centre

ROYAL Mail is plagued by the “disease” of thousands of new recruits leaving after a year or less in the job, postal workers warned today.

Delegates at the Communications Workers Union (CWU) conference voted in favour of a proposal for the union to meet with postal bosses to “re-energise and strengthen” new entrants’ terms of employment and workplace coaching agreements.

The workers argue that precarious employment and poor pay leads to staff, many of whom are young mothers, leaving in droves.
