Royal Mail responded saying that strike action had exacerbated issues at centres and added that the images “are not unusual for peak season”.A Royal Mail spokesperson said: “We spent three more days at Acas this week to discuss what needs to happen for the strikes to be lifted.
“While the CWU refuses to accept the need for change, it’s our customers and our people who suffer. Strike action has already cost our people £1,200 each."The spokesperson said the CWU was “holding Christmas to ransom”, adding: “We are doing everything we can to deliver Christmas for our customers and settle this dispute. During the last strike days, we delivered more than 700,000 parcels, and more than 11,000 delivery and processing staff returned to work.
