London mail centre closures

22 March 2011

Responding to Royal Mail's announcement on plans to close two mail centres in London, CWU warns that compulsory redundancies look inevitable unless the company returns to talks.

CWU spokesperson said: “We don't believe that the closure of two major mail centres in London can be managed without compulsory redundancies. We also believe that Royal Mail's announcement is not in accordance with the existing national agreements we have with the company.

“In 2010 Royal Mail accepted that the overarching objective of business transformation was to avoid compulsory redundancies. Given the number of staff in London, today's announcement threatens this commitment. We have tabled alternative proposals are insisting that Royal Mail returns to talks to resolve this issue.”
