Royal Mail has said it is “disappointed” that the CWU union is to ballot for strike action.

In November the company won its legal battle to prevent a postal strike over Christmas.

“We are disappointed that the CWU has issued a timeline for a ballot of its members for industrial action.

“We stand ready to invest £1.8bn to modernise and grow in the UK. We want to reach agreement with CWU; but we cannot afford to delay this essential transformation any longer.”

It said for the nine months ended 29 December 2019 parcels volume was up 3.7% and letters revenue was down 1.5%.
