'A good outcome' | Royal Mail dispute nears end as union backs new pay deal

The Royal Mail pay dispute is on the verge of ending, as the Communication Workers Union (CWU), which represents roughly 115,000 postal workers, has recommended that employees accept a new pay deal.

The dispute has been at play for over 11 months, but the outline of an agreement which states workers will receive a 10% increase in pay over 3 years was created last week. If workers decide to accept this offer it will signal an end to the dispute, which has seen frontline employees staging walkouts over work conditions and pay.
