IOM Post Office rejects offer of negotiations

Mon, 10 Dec 2018


The Communication Workers' Union has confirmed that the Isle of Man Post Office has today rejected its offer for meaningful talks ahead of proposed industrial action.

Deputy General Secretary Terry Pullinger arrived on Island earlier today for talks.

In a statement, Mr Pullinger said: "Last week the CWU wrote to the IOM Post Office and offered three days of meaningful talks on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday in an effort to avoid the strike. The CWU were contacted by the IOM Industrial Relations Officer offering their services to facilitate those talks which we accepted."

"However, the IOM Post Office declined because they believed there was no point until Tynwald had made a decision on the pensions and the move from six days to five for letter deliveries."
