Court of Appeal Upholds High Court Injunction over CWU postal
ballot
Royal Mail plc (RMG.L) confirms today that the CWU has been
unsuccessful in its application to the Court of Appeal to overturn
an interim injunction granted by the High Court on 13 November
2019.
The High Court ruled that a postal ballot of Royal Mail
employees for industrial action was unlawful and granted an interim
injunction. The injunction prevents any industrial action being
taken before the completion of a lawful ballot, resulting in a vote
in favour of industrial action, and formal notification to the
Company of any action.
Shane O'Riordain, Managing Director of Regulation and Corporate
Affairs, said: "Royal Mail is pleased that the Court of Appeal has
upheld the High Court's decision to grant an interim injunction
against CWU meaning that no industrial action can be taken before
the completion of a lawful ballot. This decision still stands.
We did not take the decision to go to the High Court lightly. We
sought to reach resolution outside the courts. It is vital that our
colleagues are able to vote without any constraint imposed upon
them by any other party.
We want to reach agreement. As previously announced, we have
written to CWU to say we want to enter into discussions without
preconditions. Following this offer, we are hopeful that we can now
follow on with meaningful discussions with the union to resolve
this dispute.
