POSTAL staff made a serious show of strength to Royal Mail Group (RMG) bosses today as 500 workplace meetings were held in support of a national strike ballot.
Thousands of Communication Workers Union (CWU) members took part in hundreds of meetings outside depot gates in support of the union’s ballot, which is scheduled to begin in late September.
Workers say that RMG is not honouring commitments on increasing pay and reducing weekly working hours from 39 to 35 by 2022, given to avoid strike action last year.
