Cwu royal mail back pay

You're referring to the CWU (Communication Workers Union) Royal Mail back pay dispute!

For those who may not be aware, the CWU, which represents Royal Mail workers, has been in a long-standing dispute with the company over pay and working conditions. The dispute has been ongoing since 2017, with the union seeking fair pay increases and improved working conditions for its members.

In 2020, the CWU announced that Royal Mail had agreed to pay its members a 2% pay increase, which was seen as a significant victory for the union. However, the union has continued to push for further improvements, including a 10% pay increase and improved working conditions.

The back pay dispute refers to the fact that Royal Mail has not paid its workers the agreed-upon 2% pay increase, which was due to be implemented in 2020. The union has been seeking payment of this back pay, which is estimated to be around £100 million.

The dispute has been ongoing for several years, with the union taking various forms of industrial action, including strikes and work-to-rule actions. The dispute has also had a significant impact on Royal Mail's operations, with the company reporting significant losses and disruptions to its services.

In recent months, the dispute has taken a new turn, with the union announcing that it will be taking further industrial action, including a 48-hour strike, in an effort to pressure Royal Mail into paying the back pay owed to its members.

The situation is complex and ongoing, with both sides continuing to negotiate and engage in industrial action. I'll do my best to keep you updated on any developments!
