'Not a laughing matter' | Royal Mail 'pay rise prank' makes a mockery of staff money worries

Royal Mail has apologised after an April Fool’s Day prank suggested employees were being given a pay rise.

Postal workers who are members of the Communication Workers Union (CWU) have been locked in dispute with bosses over pay and unagreed changes to terms and conditions, which has so far led to two strikes and ballots being held for further walkouts.
