New Royal Mail strike talks are to start again next week. The discussions are aiming to break the deadlock in a long-running dispute which has seen postal services affected across the UK.
Members of the Communication Workers Union (CWU) staged a series of strikes last year in a bitter row over jobs, pay and conditions, reports PA.
A Royal Mail spokesperson said: “We welcome the CWU’s agreement to recommence facilitated talks through Acas. Royal Mail is committed to reaching an agreement to resolve the current pay and change disputes to secure the company’s future and its employees’ long-term job security.
“The talks will commence on Monday January 9 and run through to Friday January 20.”
