Message From Roger Poole, Independent Chair

Royal Mail and the CWU continue to make good progress in what are very complex and wide ranging negotiations concerning the whole Letters business.

We will also soon be approaching the stage of negotiations where parties will need to report back and consult with their constituencies.

Further negotiations will take place next week. Both parties are still committed to achieving an agreement which will enable Royal Mail and its employees to secure a better future for everybody in the organisation.
