Royal Mail took aim at striking posties on Twitter and the union’s comeback was 1st class

You’ll probably already know that UK postal workers will go on strike for four days later this month and early in September.

Now members of the Communications Workers Union (CWU) have voted for further industrial action over working conditions.

We mention this because the Royal Mail Group decided to take the offensive with a series of tweets aimed to win whoever the hell follows them on Twitter

Here’s what they had to say in full.

And we’re not entirely sure it was the best tactic, because the CWU decided to return it to sender … with this first-class response.

Lesson for companies: don’t slag off your unhappy workers on twitter, their union will point out all your problems and everyone will be behind them even more https://t.co/UwhwpsitmX
