Motion text
That this House fully supports the more than 100,000 postal workers at Royal Mail engaging in strike action in an ongoing dispute over pay and conditions; notes the £758 million in profit made by Royal Mail in the financial year 2021-2022, an increase of £56 million from the previous financial year; acknowledges that the hard work and dedication of Royal Mail’s workforce has heavily contributed towards the organisation’s yearly profits; values the essential work carried out by Royal Mail staff across the UK; denounces Royal Mail’s intentions to cut 10,000 jobs by August 2023, including 6,000 redundancies; urges Royal Mail to negotiate a fairer deal to better support their workforce now and in the future; and wishes Royal Mail workers every success in their fight for better pay and conditions.
