Royal Mail and the CWU are at odds over pay and pensions. Royal Mail has offered a 2.5 per cent one-year pay increase. The CWU wants to bring postal workers' pay into line with the national average wage of £395 a week within five years - a rise of 27 per cent. Royal Mail also wants to end the final-salary pension scheme for all employees. This move is threatening to provoke additional strikes from its managers. Also the Royal Mail had a monopoly of delivering the mail to your front door, the government are now debating whether other companies should do this. The monopoly has been running for 300 years- this would thousands of people out of business.
