Message from Simon Thompson: CWU ballot result
Today the CWU informed us of the result of their ballot, with CWU members who took part in the ballot voting in favour of further industrial action.
Even the threat of more strike action means we will lose more customers. I am sure you can already see the impact of a lack of customer confidence on workload in your local operation.
As I have repeatedly said, not changing is not an option in a business losing £1 million a day.
We are committed to getting round the table with the
CWU and working jointly to reach an agreement. It is time for the CWU leadership to stop hindering progress at Royal Mail, and instead put their energies into embracing the future to enable us to compete and win in the market.
Royal Mail has to change or it will not survive.
Simon Thompson
Chief Executive Officer
