We apologise to our customers and strongly urge them to post early for Christmas.
“The money allocated to the pay deal should be going to our people, but it risks being eaten away by the costs of further strike action. We once again urge the CWU to call off strike action. We remain available to meet to discuss our best and final offer.” “The Government is failing to act to protect the pay and living standards of our members, and it is in the gift of the Education Secretary to make that change. The message from members on this strike day is that she must do so urgently."
