But the press release from the Communication Workers Union (CWU) underlines it will not mobilise postal workers against Royal Mail’s declaration of class warfare. Royal Mail is proceeding with its agenda through executive action. The company’s agenda is proceeding under the mantra of ending “ legacy benefits”, meaning the terms and conditions won by postal workers in decades of struggle. Postal workers are fighting Royal Mail plans to turn them into a super-exploited workforce to compete with Amazon and other rivals in the parcel delivery market. The company sought to justify its brutal measure by blaming strikers, saying it expected end of year losses of £350 million, which included “the direct impact of eight days of industrial action.” Today’s announcement by Royal Mail is a clear attempt to intimidate postal workers from taking further strike action.
