Royal Mail faces a possible nationwide strike by more than 115 000 postal staff that would be the biggest walkout by British workers this summer. Employees backed industrial action over pay by the widest margin since labour laws were overhauled in 2016, with almost 98% of votes cast favouring a strike, the Communication Workers Union said in a statement Tuesday. The CWU has yet to set dates for stoppages but said it “will not budge” until staff receive a “dignified, proper pay rise.
Backing for the walkout at Royal Mail was revealed hours after the Unite union suspended plans for a three-day strike by the company’s middle managers that had been due to start Wednesday. Members backed talks on new proposals regarding jobs, pay and working conditions, the labour group said.
