UK: Union leaders ratify mail deal
Postal workers’ leaders today ratified a deal aimed at ending the bitter mail dispute, which has disrupted deliveries across the UK since the summer.
The postal executive of the Communication Workers Union backed an agreement thrashed out earlier this month between union officials and Royal Mail chief executive Adam Crozier.
The union’s 130,000 members will now be balloted on whether they will accept the deal on pay, pensions and flexible working arrangements before the long-running dispute is finally ended.
