FREE Royal Mail redeliveries should be reviewed after the company’s actions have left its six-day delivery service financially unviable, the Communication Workers Union (CWU) conference heard today.

Deputy general secretary Martin Walsh told delegates in Bournemouth that the union has submitted its rejection of a three- or four-day letter delivery service to regulator Ofcom, which is looking at watering down the firm’s Universal Service Obligation (USO) to deliver letters to all addresses in Britain six days a week.

“We are in talks with the company around trying to secure a statement of principles around their optimised model,” Mr Walsh said.
