Post Office workers are being recommended to vote in favour of a 9 per cent pay rise, lump sum payments and additional benefits following walkouts in a dispute over pay and conditions. This would bring the strikes to an end.
“This agreement is the best that can be achieved via these negotiations and, as such, the postal executive is recommending our members support the agreement by voting yes in the forthcoming ballot.”
CWU general secretary Dave Ward said: “This deal simply would not have happened without the bravery shown by striking Post Office workers all through last year.The dispute involved workers at Crown Post Offices, the larger sites usually in high streets, and is separate to the unresolved long-running row between the union and the Royal Mail.
A Post Office spokesperson said: “We are pleased that the CWU agree that the offer we have put forward provides a fair deal for their members and that they will be recommending a yes vote. “We hope to get a positive response from their members so we can get the new pay rates in colleagues’ pockets as soon as possible.”
