Royal Mail staff announce further 19 strikes over next two months
28th Sep 2022
When we have the firm dates for this industrial action we will come back with updates.
Notice from the Royal Mail:
Royal Mail workers are to stage 19 strikes in October and November as a continuing dispute over pay and conditions continues.
The Communication Workers Union announced that the action over the next two months will be a mixture of single days and rolling action across the network of the Royal Mail Group. The union expects it to have a "dramatic impact," with the industrial action covering peak mail periods such as Black Friday, Cyber Monday and the Christmas build-up.

We have received notification from the CWU union that they have called off their industrial action planned for 9 September.
CWU members are taking strike action on 30 September and 1 October 2022. We’re sorry for the disruption this is likely to cause you. We’re doing what we can to keep services running, but customers should expect significant disruption.
Royal Mail has well-developed contingency plans, but they cannot fully replace the daily efforts of its frontline workforce. We will be doing what we can to keep services running, but customers should expect significant disruption.
