Royal Mail asks to stop Saturday letter deliveries

Oct 31,2022 12:41 pm

Royal Mail has asked the government if it can stop its letter deliveries on Saturdays, as it seeks to turn its fortunes around after slumping to a loss in The First half of the year.

The Business said it wanted to move from a six-days-a-week letter delivery to five, from Monday to Friday only.

However, parcel services would continue to run all days of the week.

It came as Royal Mail reported a £219m underlying operating loss for the six months to 25 September.

Strike action weighed heavily on The Firm , with further walkouts expected in The Coming weeks.

Keith Williams , non-executive chair of Royal Mail 's owner International Distributions Services, said " urgent reform" was needed, to ensure a sustainable future.

" [The] government has now been approached to seek an early move to five day letter delivery, whilst we continue to improve parcel services, " He Said .

Simon Thompson , chief executive of Royal Mail , added: " We have always been clear we need change to survive.

" We have started turning The Business around and will do whatever it takes. "

He added: " We would prefer to reach agreement with the Communication Workers Union (CWU) but in any case We Are moving ahead with changes to transform our business. "

The CWU has been Locked In a long-running dispute with Royal Mail over pay, jobs and conditions.

A series of strikes have taken place in recent weeks and action is set to resume on Black Friday and Cyber Monday .
