Communication Workers Union calls off Royal Mail vote to end dispute

A union vote on a pay deal to potentially end the long-running Royal Mail dispute has been called off.

Communication Workers Union (CWU) bosses suspended the planned vote amid allegations of a ‘toxic’ work environment at Royal Mail, as reported by This is Money.

The CWU, which represents around 115,000 postal workers, was set to send ballots to members to give them a say on an agreement brokered last month to end the dispute.

The offer included a 10% rise over three years, a £500 bonus payment and a profit-sharing deal.

But the CWU has now said the ballot will be paused, blaming Royal Mail for ‘attacks in the workplace’.

It’s thought as many a 32% of workers planned to vote against the deal negotiated by CWU leaders.

The Royal Mail said it will be able to give people a pay rise and provide greater job security once a positive ballot result has been received.

Postal workers walked out on strike for 18 days last year.
