FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Commenting on Royal Mail’s announcement of serious financial losses, a Communication Workers Union spokesperson said: “There is no doubt that Royal Mail Group faces a very serious financial situation.

“It is one of its own making due to gross mismanagement, but it is serious nonetheless.

“We now need to see actions rather than words.

“The toxic environment created by a senior management team that has gone to war with its own workforce needs to end immediately.

“In recent weeks, there has been no let up on the culture of imposition, disregard for quality of service and the destruction of the service to the public.

“Royal Mail Group is at a crossroads. It cannot and will not survive without taking the workforce with it through this period.“
