Is there a strike with royal mail
As of my knowledge cutoff, there have been several strikes and disputes with Royal Mail in the UK in recent years. Here are a few examples:
- 2022 Royal Mail strike: In August 2022, Royal Mail workers went on strike for the first time in 12 years, with over 115,000 postal workers participating in the walkout. The strike was called by the Communication Workers Union (CWU) over issues such as pay, jobs, and conditions.
- 2022 Royal Mail dispute: In June 2022, Royal Mail and the CWU agreed to a 2% pay rise for postal workers, but the union rejected the offer, citing concerns over job security and the impact of automation on the workforce.
- 2019 Royal Mail strike: In October 2019, Royal Mail workers went on strike for 48 hours over issues such as pay, pensions, and job security. The strike affected mail delivery services across the UK.
- 2017 Royal Mail dispute: In 2017, Royal Mail and the CWU agreed to a 2% pay rise for postal workers, but the union rejected the offer, citing concerns over job security and the impact of automation on the workforce.
Please note that strike dates and details are subject to change, and it's always best to check with Royal Mail or the Communication Workers Union for the latest information on any ongoing or planned strikes.
