Notice of ballot for industrial action
Royal Mail (RMG.L) confirms it has received formal notice from
CWU that it intends to ballot its members for industrial action.
Under the terms of the notice, all CWU members (other than those
working in Royal Mail Property and Facilities Solutions) will be
balloted. The earliest opening date of the ballot will be 24
September 2019.
A ballot result for industrial action does not necessarily mean
there will be industrial action. No industrial action can be taken
before the conclusion of our mediation period. We will continue to
engage in the agreed dispute resolution processes set out in the
Agenda for Growth.
We will be urging our colleagues to vote 'no' in the upcoming
ballot. Industrial action - or the threat of it - undermines the
trust of our customers. It makes it harder for Royal Mail to pay
for the existing industry-leading terms and conditions it
provides.
Royal Mail is committed to further talks as a matter of urgency.
We believe there are no grounds for industrial action. We remain
committed to open and constructive engagement with the CWU. We all
want a successful and sustainable company that provides good
quality jobs, fairness in workloads, and continues delivering a
sustainable Universal Service.
