Union Warns Against Post Office Panic Measures
Billy Hayes, the General Secretary of the Communication Workers Union said that today’s announcement of huge losses and threats to jobs in Consignia/Royal Mail should not lead to “knee-jerk reactions that the company would regret later”.
He said the union would work with the employer to improve productivity where it was reasonable and beneficial to the service. “Naturally, we want all our members to have secure employment in a profitable business,” he said. “But that involves all sections of the postal partnership being realistic – and that includes government.”
