When was the last royal mail strike day
The last Royal Mail strike in the United Kingdom was in October 2019. The Communication Workers Union (CWU) called a 48-hour strike on October 13-14, 2019, over issues including job security, pay, and working conditions.
The strike was the first national strike by Royal Mail workers in 12 years and affected mail delivery services across the UK. The strike was called off on October 15, 2019, after the CWU and Royal Mail reached a deal on a new pay and benefits package.
Here is a brief timeline of the 2019 Royal Mail strike:
- October 13, 2019: The 48-hour strike begins, with thousands of Royal Mail workers walking out across the UK.
- October 14, 2019: The strike continues, with many mail delivery services disrupted.
- October 15, 2019: The strike is called off after the CWU and Royal Mail reach a deal on a new pay and benefits package.
- October 16, 2019: Royal Mail services begin to return to normal, with some delays still expected.
It's worth noting that the CWU and Royal Mail have had several disputes and strikes over the years, but the 2019 strike was the most recent national strike by Royal Mail workers.
