Royal Mail has struggled with labour strikes, competition and loss of market share. CWU, the largest union of Royal Mail, has held multiple strikes in 2022 and 2023, with workers grappling with soaring inflation. The CWU will shortly issue a ballot with a recommendation to accept the agreement that includes a three-year basic pay increase made up of a 4.2% increase in 2025, an inflation-linked increase of at least 2% in 2026 and 2% in 2027. Subject to a positive ballot outcome, the increase will be backdated to 1 April 2025.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Read on: \u003Ca contenteditable=\"false\" href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fd85j82c4.r.eu-central-1.awstrack.me\u002FL0\u002Fhttps:%2F%2Fcrm.etui.org%2Fcivicrm%2Fmailing%2Furl%3Fu=88012%26qid=4384754\u002F1\u002F010701994de6c808-2c0d9cad-61fe-44f7-8811-7da0ac8fe802-000000\u002F1XnjhG7sUdBIi7mUJniUtcfn7tw=224\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"https:\u002F\u002Fd85j82c4.r.eu-central-1.awstrack.me\u002FL0\u002Fhttps:%2F%2Fcrm.etui.org%2Fcivicrm%2Fmailing%2Furl%3Fu=88012%26qid=4384754\u002F1\u002F010701994de6c808-2c0d9cad-61fe-44f7-8811-7da0ac8fe802-000000\u002F1XnjhG7sUdBIi7mUJniUtcfn7tw=224\">in English…\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For more information, please contact Paul de Beer or Oana Ciuca, De Burcht (Scientific Bureau for the Dutch Trade Union Movement) \u003Ca href=\"mailto:p.t.debeer@uva.nl\">p.t.debeer@uva.nl\u003C\u002Fa> or the Head of communications at the ETUI, Mehmet Koksal \u003Ca href=\"mailto:mkoksal@etui.org\">mkoksal@etui.org\u003C\u002Fa>.
