Outcome of ballot for industRial action
Royal Mail plc (RMG.L) is very disappointed that the CWU has
chosen to ballot for industrial action. CWU has announced that, of
the CWU members in Royal Mail who voted, 97.1 per cent voted in
favour of taking industrial action. It has also announced that, in
two separate ballots for CWU members in Parcelforce Worldwide,
outcomes of 95 per cent and 94.7 per cent in favour of industrial
action were returned.
A ballot result for industrial action does not necessarily mean
there will be industrial action. We are still in mediation with the
CWU. Under our Dispute Resolution Procedure, set out in the Agenda
for Growth, we are committed to reaching a resolution. No
industrial action can be taken, and formal notification of
industrial action cannot be given, before the conclusion of the
Dispute Resolution Procedure.
We want to reach agreement. There are no grounds for industrial
action. Industrial action - or the threat of it - is damaging for
our business and undermines the trust of our customers.
Royal Mail wants to transform to meet our customers' changing
needs as we post fewer letters and receive more parcels. Working
together at pace, the transformation is about ensuring a more
sustainable Company, a fairer working environment, the best terms
and conditions in our industry and a contemporary Universal
Service.
