UPDATE 16 December 2022

“National strike action dates formally notified by the CWU

The CWU has formally notified Royal Mail they plan to call on their members who collect, sort and deliver parcels and letters to take national strike action on Friday 23 December and Saturday 24 December 2022.”

____________________________

Unless you’ve been living under a rock you will have heard that Royal Mail workers voted to undertake industrial action recently.

Royal Mail have stated that on strike days they will prioritise delivery of Tracked 24 and Special Delivery mail.

However they do not say they will deliver all, just as many as possible. Large letters will not be delivered on those days, unless Special Delivery.

“On days when national strike action is taking place:

  • We will deliver as many Special Delivery and Tracked 24 parcels as possible
  • We will prioritise the delivery of COVID test kits and medical prescriptions wherever possible
  • We will not be delivering letters (with the exception of Special Delivery)”

Please bear this in mind when selecting your delivery service.

All I can say is a repeat of Royal Mail’s advice – place your orders as early as possible in advance of the strike dates.
