Unconditional Talks Will Bring Dispute to End

Dave Ward, CWU deputy general secretary, said: "We have six days before any further strike action would take place. Given the progress we were making in talks earlier this week this should be enough time to reach an agreement.

"We want to go to ACAS with no preconditions on either side to resolve this dispute."

Notice for strike action has been served to Royal Mail for the following days next week:

Thursday from 4am

43,700 staff across the UK in mail centres, delivery units in mail centres, network logistic drivers and garage staff.

Friday:

MDECs (400 people in three sites - Plymouth, Stockport, Stoke. These workers assist mail centres by reading and entering mail addresses.)

Saturday:

77,000 delivery and collection staff across the UK.
