UK postal workers stage mass strike over pay disputes
16:25 August 26, 2022 AA
UK postal workers on Friday launched a major strike after ongoing disputes with Royal Mail over pay rises and working conditions. Members of the Communication Workers Union (CWU) staged a mass walk out after Royal Mail offered them a 2% pay rise. The proposal was rejected by the CWU who described the offer as not being good enough and are instead seeking a higher pay rise reflective of growing inflation rates and the cost of living crisis.
