Royal Mail is losing around 400 postal workers each week, according to the CWU, which says the rate of departures has increased since the introduction of a new delivery system.
The union claims the system is not working properly across hundreds of Royal Mail offices. It links the reported rise in staff leaving to the changes affecting how deliveries are organised.
The figures point to continuing concerns over staffing and the operation of the new system, although no further details about the number of offices affected or the timing of the changes were provided.
The latest position is based on the CWU’s assessment that Royal Mail is losing approximately 400 postal workers every week. The union’s claims about the delivery system and its effect on staff departures remain the central issues in the dispute.
