Are cwu and royal mail talking

You're referring to the rumors about CWU (Communication Workers Union) and Royal Mail!

To answer your question, yes, CWU and Royal Mail have been in discussions and negotiations regarding various issues, including pay, working conditions, and the future of the postal service.

In recent years, the CWU has been vocal about its concerns over the impact of automation and changes to the postal service on its members' jobs and working conditions. The union has also been pushing for better pay and benefits for its members.

Royal Mail, on the other hand, has been facing financial challenges and has implemented various cost-cutting measures, including the introduction of automation and changes to its delivery network.

In 2020, the CWU and Royal Mail agreed to a new three-year pay deal, which included a 2% pay rise in the first year, followed by a 1% rise in each of the subsequent two years. However, the union has continued to push for better pay and conditions, and has threatened strike action if its demands are not met.

In recent months, there have been reports of tensions between the two parties, with the CWU accusing Royal Mail of failing to address its concerns and Royal Mail accusing the union of being unreasonable in its demands.

It's worth noting that the CWU has a long history of industrial action, including strikes, to protect its members' interests and to push for better working conditions and pay. While the union has not yet announced any plans for strike action, the situation remains tense and uncertain.

I hope that helps clarify the situation!
