Title: Royal Mail - Settlement Agreed
Matt - October 13, 2007 09:35 AM (GMT)
Saturday 13th October Update
Royal Mail is pleased to report that negotiations with the Communications Workers Union (CWU) have been successful and a settlement has now been reached.
We apologise for the disruption and inconvenience the strikes have caused, and thank you for your ongoing patience through this difficult time.
We are now working hard to return to normal as quickly as possible, but there is a significant build-up of mail that will take some time to clear. We will deal with all mail in the order in which we received it, and will re-instate all service guarantees and promises as soon as we are able to honour them.
Unofficial strike action
However we are very disappointed to report that some colleagues are currently taking unofficial strike action, in several parts of the country, which will inevitably lenghten our recovery period, and affect services in these areas. Please call our customer service helpline - 08457 950 950 for business customers and 08457 740 740 for residential customers - for the latest details.

just had a chat with my postman as he bought box special delivery for me.
he said should be back to normal deliveries from monday
also he mentioned that they are starting an hour later from now on ie 6am instead of 5am like they used to.
so will get mail an hour later. being on the end of the round, means our deliveries will be between 1.00pm an 2.30pm
so apart from hour later its all good news for us over in wales :)
