Royal Mail workers in the Communication Workers Union went on strike for fair pay and reasonable conditions over Christmas last year.
Royal Mail workers strongly opposed plans to introduce what they called gig economy style contracts into the company.
More than 115,000 postal workers have gone on strike since August 2022 as the Royal Mail proposed changes to Sunday working plans and introduced different working practices. The union say these changes have reduced pay.
According to International Distributions Services (IDS), the parent firm of Royal Mail, roughly 125,000 union members participated into the picket line during the Christmas period and its mail centres closed in many cities.
Andrew Cockram is a driver for Royal Mail in Cardiff. He said gig economy style contracts will make their salary less and they want the public to know about the real reason for their dispute action.
Lots of small businesses owners said their business have been affected a lot because of the delayed deliveries and many customers complained about their service.
Royal Mail chairman Keith Williams said the company was losing £1 million per day. And according to IDS, the industrial action cost nearly £200m so far.
There is no specific dates about strikes in 2023. The CWU has decided not to call further strike action and to continue negotiations with Royal Mail, because the company has put forward some potential settlements of these disputes.
