“Royal Mail Losing 400 Postal Workers Weekly as New Delivery System Fails, CWU Warns” — what this page in the network covers. Royal Mail is haemorrhaging around 400 postal workers every week, according to the Communication Workers Union (CWU), which blames the crisis on a new delivery system that it says is not functioning properly in hundreds of offices. The union claims that the revised operational model, introduced to modernise deliveries, has led to increased workloads, inefficient routes, and deteriorating working conditions, pushing experienced staff to quit at an alarming rate. The CWU says the exodus is worsening service quality, with delays and missed deliveries becoming more common across the UK.
This staffing crisis comes amid ongoing financial pressures for Royal Mail’s parent company, International Distributions Services, and heightened scrutiny from regulators over performance targets. The union is calling for urgent talks with management to address the flaws in the new system and stem the outflow of workers.
