Deal to be revealed
DETAILS of an agreement which paved the way for a fresh wave of postal strikes to be halted hours before the latest walkouts were due to start, will be released today.
The 24-hour stoppages were scheduled for today and Monday in a long-running row over jobs, pay and modernisation.
Members of the Communication Workers’ Union (CWU) have held a series of strikes in recent months which have caused huge delays to mail deliveries.
Neil Bendelow, a Teesside-based representative of the CWU, said members were waiting to discover the details of the agreement - due to be revealed later today.
Dave Ward, the union’s deputy general secretary, said he was pleased with the agreement, which had been accepted unanimously by the postal executive of the CWU.
The two sides will have the support of the conciliation service Acas during negotiations over the next few months, he added.
