The company's under-fire chief executive urges the CWU to accept its terms as retailers brace for disruption over the core Christmas shopping season
It has sought to be excused its requirement for letter deliveries on Saturdays and wants to be able to deliver more profitable parcels seven days a week - on Sundays, for the first time, under its plans.Royal Mail said last month it was to consult on 6,000 redundancies but promised on Wednesday there would be no job losses before the end of March next year under its offer to the CWU.
The union conducted a vote of no confidence in Mr Thompson among its 115,000 Royal Mail members earlier this week. "Negotiations involve give and take, but it appears that the CWU's approach is to just take. We want to reach a deal, but time is running out for the CWU to change their position and avoid further damaging strike action tomorrow.
CWU general secretary Dave Ward responded:"We are disappointed that instead of reaching a compromise to avoid major disruption, Royal Mail have chosen to pursue such an aggressive strategy.
