The Communication Workers Union, the U.K. postal workers organization, said it would strike Royal Mail for 24 hours beginning at 7:00 p.m. on July 12 after negotiations with Royal Mail broke down.
In a special message to its business customers, Royal Mail said it wouldn’t be able to collect mail during the strike and urged them to mail on other days. But if they couldn’t, Royal Mail encouraged them to bring their mailings directly to their local post centers.
Workers walked out for 24 hours on June 29 in the first national postal strike for 11 years in protest at Royal Mail’s 2.5% pay increase offer and plan to cut 40,000 jobs.
