CWU Agree Pay Deal With Post Office Limited
A pay deal has been agreed by the Communication Workers Union (CWU) for more than 3,000 Crown Post Office staff worth up to 7.3% over three years.
It is understood that the pay deal includes a 3.9% increase from 01 April 2014, with a further 3.4% paid in 1% increments as savings targets are reached.
Workers will also get lump sum payments of £2,300, with a further £1,000 paid in 2014-15 in two £500 instalments.
This lump sum payment is for last year - when the three-year pay deal should have started.
Fourteen national strikes where held in the second half of last year in a dispute between the CWU and Post Office Limited.
"This is an excellent settlement that is the result of long and difficult negotiations. Post Office workers have been very patient in waiting for this well-deserved pay deal since the first industrial action was taken in March last year," The CWU's national officer, Andy Furey, said.
