Are royal mail on strike january 2023
According to the latest information available, Royal Mail workers in the UK are indeed planning to go on strike in January 2023. The strike action is a result of a dispute over pay, jobs, and conditions.
Here are the details:
- The Communication Workers Union (CWU), which represents Royal Mail workers, has announced a series of strikes starting from January 2023.
- The first strike is scheduled for January 19, 2023, and will last for 48 hours.
- Further strikes are planned for January 20-23, 2023, and January 31, 2023, to February 1, 2023.
- The strikes will affect Royal Mail's delivery and collection services, including parcel and letter delivery.
The CWU is demanding a 10% pay rise for Royal Mail workers, improved job security, and better working conditions. Royal Mail has offered a 5% pay rise, which the CWU has rejected.
It's worth noting that the strike action may be subject to change, and Royal Mail may try to negotiate with the CWU to resolve the dispute. However, as of now, the strikes are planned to go ahead.
If you're expecting a delivery or have a parcel to send, it's a good idea to check the Royal Mail website or contact them directly for the latest information on delivery times and any potential disruptions.
