CWU ballot result

We are very disappointed that CWU has successfully balloted its members for industrial action.

We believe there are no grounds for industrial action. We have honoured and want to honour our Agreements. We are committed to further talks and want to reach resolution.

Our future at risk

Our customers rely on us - even the threat of industrial action is concerning to them. There’s a real risk they will take their business away and not come back.

We have to change to meet our customers’ needs - that’s the only way to sustain the USO and the high quality jobs we offer now.

We have a plan to return to growth, which includes investing around £1.8bn over five years. Industrial action could put our investment at risk.

Our commitments

Our strategy is about meeting customer needs and growing our company, making it stronger in a changing world.

During our transformation journey, we need to work together - at pace. If we do, Royal Mail is making the following commitments to colleagues:

1. There will be job opportunities for all of our people who can and want to work for Royal Mail.

2. We will have a fairer working environment.

3. We will deliver the USO for our country.

4. We will invest in change to ensure a sustainable Royal Mail.

5. We will have the best terms and conditions in our industry.
