Royal Mail to hold 19 days of strike action

Wed, 28th Sep 2022 09:07

(Sharecast News) - Employees at Royal Mail will hold 19 days of strike action over both pay and terms and conditions during the peak build-up to Christmas time.

The Communication Workers Union said late on Tuesday that the strikes will cover Black Friday and Cyber Monday in order to best reflect the "level of anger" amongst workers.

Strikes have been called for 24 hours from 0400 BST on a number of days, with action to be taken by all workers on 13, 20, and 25 October, as well as on 28 November.

A spokesman for the CWU claimed that Royal Mail hopes to "casualise" the postal service and turn it into "an Uber-style employer" and Royal Mail Group stated that further strikes would only further threaten jobs.

Royal Mail said: "Royal Mail is losing £1.0m a day and must change faster in response to changing customer demands.

"Further strikes and resistance to transformation by CWU will only make our financial position worse, and threatens the long-term job security of our postmen and women."

As of 0900 BST, Royal Mail shares had sunk 5.98% to 182.40p.

Sunday newspaper round-up: IAG, The Hut Group, Nvidia

(Sharecast News) - A cash call would be the quickest way for IAG to tackle its €12.3bn of debt and begin paying a dividend again, HSBC aviation analyst Andrew Lobbenberg said. If not, then the carrier would have to resort to its cash flows. Any decision on a rights issue would likely be taken by the company's new bos, Nicholas Cadbury, when he started early the following year. Lobbenberg had already said in September that plans to raise cash for IAG might follow positive news such as the reopening of travel to the US. - Financial Mail on Sunday

Sunday newspaper round-up: JD Sports, Abrdn, Snowfox Group

(Sharecast News) - The head of JD Sports, Peter Cowgill, is facing questions from the Competition and Markets Authority over his meeting in a car park with Footasylum boss, Barry Brown. They were filmed at the weekend sitting in a black Mercedes at Bridge Hall industrial park, leading to the watchdog's investigation into whether or not they breached the rules governing JD Sport's takeover of its smaller rival. In the video, which was seen by The Sunday Times, they were joined in the car by JD's general counsel, Siobhan Mawdsley, who later left. The investigation comes as the CMA is still examining JD's 2019 offer to buy out Footasylum. - Sunday Times
