Royal Mail fears GBP 350M strike fine

Royal Mail could face a GBP 350million fine after the recent strikes left services in turmoil.

The warning came as some workers voted for fresh action in a pay and modernization row and simmering disputes threatened to spark wildcat walkouts.

A memo to managers says the strikes “cost us dearly. Our quality of service has been ruined.

“We will miss all targets this year and could be fined up to GBP 350million unless we can convince Postcomm not to apply it”.

“Our relationship with customers is damaged and many are moving away altogether.” The Communication Workers’ Union staged two 24-hour national strikes.

It suspended more action for fresh talks. But up to 5,000 posties in South London have voted to strike on August 24 and 28.

Staff at offices including Streatham and Watford will be balloted after pay was docked. Royal Mail refused to comment.
