FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Responding to Royal Mail Group’s (IDS) financial results this morning, CWU Deputy General Secretary Martin Walsh said: “Royal Mail and IDS should never have been split as a company.

“It was done by the Board to present Royal Mail as a basket case and create the false narrative ready for the down-dialling of postal services in the UK and the loss of tens of thousands of jobs.

“For the overall company to already essentially be at break-even point after years of gross mismanagement is a testament to the work of every postal worker in the UK.

“It also shows the company can have a brighter future if the focus goes back to properly rewarding its employees and delivering for its customers.”
