Royal Mail warns of jobs chop under plans to scrap second-class deliveries on Saturdays
ROYAL MAIL has warned that up to 1,000 jobs could be axed under plans to scrap second-class letter deliveries on Saturdays.
In its submission to a consultation on the future of the universal postal service (USO) by industry regulator Ofcom, the privatised company also proposes to cut the service to every other weekday.
Royal Mail said its proposals would reduce all non-first-class letter deliveries — including second-class and bulk business mail—– to save the business up to £300 million a year.
