Do royal mail workers get paid while on strike

During a strike, Royal Mail workers are not paid for the days they are on strike. According to Royal Mail's collective bargaining agreement with the Communication Workers Union (CWU), which represents the majority of Royal Mail workers, employees are not entitled to pay during a strike.

However, Royal Mail workers may receive strike pay from the CWU, which is a separate arrangement from their regular pay. The strike pay is funded by the union and is intended to help workers who are on strike to maintain their income during the period of industrial action.

The amount of strike pay received by Royal Mail workers can vary depending on their individual circumstances and the terms of the strike. In general, strike pay is typically a percentage of the worker's regular pay, and it is usually paid for a limited period, such as a few weeks or months.

It's worth noting that Royal Mail workers who are on strike may also be eligible for other forms of support, such as financial assistance from the union or government programs. However, the specifics of these arrangements can vary depending on the individual circumstances of the worker and the terms of the strike.
