.@CWUnews members take strike action again today for better pay and to defend our postal service.

I've written to BEIS regarding Royal Mail finances, its commitment to meeting its Universal Service Obligation and senior management behaviour during the dispute.

[Jon Trickett MP @jon_trickett]

Royal Mail made a record £758m in profit between 2021 and 2022 - £567m of that has been paid to shareholders and £2m to CEOs.

But the workers are having a real-terms pay cut imposed on them. It's plain wrong.

I stand with @CWUnews. Victory to the posties.

An 18th C. @RoyalNavy sailors plate had a rim around called a fiddle. If you had dishonesty got more than your fair share the food would lap over the fiddle, hence the phrase ‘On the fiddle’ if you had enough, you’d had a ‘Square meal’ due to the shape used to stop them rolling

[Dave Ward @DaveWardGS]

I’ve had enough of the media pedalling the employers lines. Im calling it out every single time from now on. Started with the BBC tonight.

Stand by your postal worker. They need you.

[Caroline Barnard @CazBarnard]

@BBCNews - poor questions felt like they had come from a month old newspaper! How can Royal Mail be paying dividends to its shareholders if they are losing that much money - it doesn’t make sense?!

[CWU @CWUnews]

General Secretary Dave Ward absolutely smashing it on BBC News tonight. We will win this dispute.
Get this everywhere and get ready to build for the strikes from tomorrow. We shall not be moved.

Ahead of Royal Mail Group's statement to the markets tomorrow we wanted to set out our position. Talks continue and we will issue a fuller update on them later this week.

Please read and share as widely as possible.

@AlecFlegman @Paul_D1963 @CWUnews Ooops then I responded to the wrong tweet! - I fully support the posties and it just makes me so angry with the rubbish I am reading

[Caroline Barnard @CazBarnard]

Losing money? Bonus for the boss and shareholders- something doesn’t make sense

[Caroline Barnard @CazBarnard]

@Danmckie2002 @FamousFive1875 @CoffeeScamp @CWUnews I think you actually need to speak to your postie and ask him - they are striking more abt the changes to their working conditions - I fully support my postie

[Caroline Barnard @CazBarnard]

@Danmckie2002 @Scubeedo @CWUnews And perhaps the top management shouldn’t give themselves such huge bonuses if the company is failing - what does that say for the CEO and how come the shareholders are still receiving bonuses if Royal Mail is losing money?

[Caroline Barnard @CazBarnard]

@AlecFlegman @Paul_D1963 @CWUnews The postman actually deliver Amazon parcels still so don’t know who is going to do it quicker and as for cheaper you will find that the local businesses say no one else is cheaper OR as reliable instead of being such keyboard warriors perhaps you should thank your local postie.

[Caroline Barnard @CazBarnard]

I completely agree with Kate Osborne MP

[CWU @CWUnews]

A great letter to one of Royal Mail Group’s CEOs Simon Thompson from @KateOsborneMP 👏
