Solidarity with striking posties

 Aberdeen TUC delegates and Unite retired members were out on the picket line at Kittybrewster depot on Friday 25 November showing their solidarity in the CWU's fight for a decent pay rise.

Royal Mail workers have had an unagreed 2% pay deal imposed on them. This is at a time when RPI inflation is running at 11.8% and when the Royal Mail has announced Group profits of £758 million and when the company is paying out many millions to private shareholders.

In a national strike ballot over pay Royal Mail CWU members voted by a 97.6% majority to take action.

ATUC stands in solidarity with the posties in their strike for fair pay and a decent pay rise.

ATUC sends solidarity to CWU in their fight for decent pay

Delegates of Aberdeen Trades Union Council have been out on the picket line in solidarity with CWU as they took a third day of strike action over their ongoing pay dispute on Thursday 14th of July.

Alan Robertson, CWU area rep for Supply Chain said: "Since the last strike day Post Office Limited has increased its pay offer for the year 22/23, but still nothing for 21/22, which our dispute concerns. 

"Our members were key workers during the pandemic, and continued to provide a service through-out. Post Office Limited continued to make a profit, but refuses to recognise the hard work of our members during the pandemic."

ATUC sends its support and solidarity to comrades in CWU in their fight for decent pay.

Solidarity to CWU in their fight to protect members pensions, pay and conditions

Aberdeen Trade Union Council sends solidarity and support to our colleagues in the Communications Workers' Union in their ongoing dispute with Royal Mail and in their current negotiations.

George Ross, Branch Secretary, Grampian and Shetland CWU branch said, "Following a ballot with a huge 89.1% turnout of the members backing Industrial Action, Royal Mail has about turned on manyof their hard and fast proposals and a deal is currently being drawn up and will hopefully put to the members in the very near future."

This will include protections for pensions, pay and terms and conditions.
