Royal Mail and CWU having their day in court
Royal Mail’s application for an injunction to stop the planned industrial action by members of the Communications Workers Union (CWU) is set to be heard in court this morning. The hearing at the High Court in London was scheduled to start at 10:30 am this morning.
As previously reported, the CWU members have voted for industrial action, with a 48-hour walkout scheduled to start on 19 October.
However, Royal Mail has argued that it would be illegal for the CWU to coordinate a strike until the contractual external mediation process has been followed.
