MORE than 115,000 Royal Mail workers are to be balloted for industrial action in a row over pay, their union announced today.
Members of the Communication Workers Union (CWU) will vote in the coming weeks on whether to mount a campaign of industrial action.
Ballot papers will go out on June 28 and the result will be known next month.
CWU deputy general secretary Terry Pullinger said in a video posted on Twitter: “Today we will be serving a notice on Royal Mail Group over a pay claim – our claim for an inflation-based, no-strings pay award.
“The company has imposed a 2 per cent pay award, miles away from where inflation is, totally inadequate.”
A Royal Mail spokesperson said: “We believe there are no grounds for industrial action.
“We offered a deal worth up to 5.5 per cent for CWU grade colleagues, the biggest increase we have offered for many years, which was rejected by the CWU.”
