Strike action by the Communications and Workers Union (CWU) across eighteen days in the run-up to Christmas is likely to cause significant disruption to magazine deliveries.
The CWU has given formal notification for three days of strikes on 13, 20, and 25 October, impacting workers who collect, sort, distribute and deliver parcels and letters. Royal Mail will not be delivering any letter mail (which encompasses magazine mail) on strike days.
Although it has not yet given formal notification, the CWU is also planning strike action impacting various parts of Royal Mail’s operations on the following days:
– Network & National Distribution: 2, 8, 14, 23, 30 November
– Parcel and letter processing and distribution; Royal Mail international parcel and letter services; Collections (customer, Post Office, post boxes): 3, 9, 15, 24 November & 1 December
– Parcel and letter deliveries: 4, 10, 16, 25 November & 2 December
The PPA will continue to engage with Royal Mail to ensure that disruption to publishers’ subscriptions businesses mitigated as much as possible, including ensuring that services return to normal as quickly as possible following scheduled strike action.
