High Court confirms contractual dispute resolution procedures
must be followed before industrial action
Royal Mail (RMG.L) confirms that the High Court has today ruled
that the contractual dispute resolution procedures under the Agenda
for Growth must be followed before industrial action can take
place. The court's final injunction means that any strike action
before the dispute resolution procedures have been followed would
be unlawful.
We will now make contact with the CWU as a matter of urgency to
begin the process of external mediation. The mediation process will
take close to Christmas to be completed, and may be longer. The
first step is selecting a mediator acceptable to Royal Mail and the
CWU from a panel that was agreed by both parties under the Agenda
for Growth.
The Agenda for Growth is a balanced agreement which gives
significant protections to Royal Mail employees. In return, the CWU
committed to an industrial stability framework with defined
processes and strict timescales to resolve disputes. We want to use
them to do just that.
We are very committed to working closely with the CWU in order
to reach agreement as a matter of priority.
