The
end to the Postal Strike...
THE national
postal strike finished last week on Wednesday 11 October 2007, but
Liverpool workers at Liverpool’s sorting offices staged an
unofficial strike, called by Communication Workers Union (CWU). The
wild cat strike meant even more postal Merseyside area. One of the
victims was the Liverpool - Everton Darby, as fans panicked to get
their tickets that where suck in the post and the two football clubs
had to make alternative arrangements for fans to collect them.
Thankfully for many customers using the Royal Mail, more than 800
post staff made the decision at The Liner Hotel in the city to go
back to work on the morning of Friday 19 October 2007. CWU official
Mark Walsh said:- "We are obviously glad to get our members
back to work, get the public's mail out and keep negotiations about
working hours on the table." Meanwhile, fresh talks are
being held between both sides in the national dispute over pay, jobs
and pensions.
A proposed deal was thrashed out on the Friday between leaders of
the CWU and Royal Mail chief executive Adam Crozier, which included
a 6.9% pay rise over 2 years.
A Royal Mail spokesman said:- "Royal Mail has agreed to meet
with the union to clarify outstanding issues, but an agreement has
been reached and endorsed by CWU general secretary Billy Hayes and
deputy general secretary Dave Ward stands."
