Members of the Communications Workers Union (CWU) have accepted
Royal Mail’s pay and modernisation terms, bringing an end to the
postal dispute. Sixty-four per cent of members voted in favour of
the agreement, which includes an increase of 5.4 per cent on basic
pay and overtime, a one-off lump sum of £175 per employee
from an existing employee “share of savings” scheme
and, according to Royal Mail, “the flexibility we need to
modernise our operations”. The union said it contacted
Royal Mail to ask for the pay increases and lump sum to be
incorporated into members’ pay before Christmas.
