Post Office Strike: Contingency plans worked well

Wed, 20 Feb 2019

Isle of Man Post Office says its contingency plans in place during last week's three day strike worked extremely well.

The Post Office received and processed mail from three sea containers and three mail planes and undertook its full range of collections on all strike days, processing 100% of that work and successfully dispatching two planes of mail back into the UK postal network.

A total of 5,671 Special Delivery, Royal Mail Tracked, Parcelforce 24, Yodel and HaysDX trackable packets/parcels were delivered along with thousands of machineable letters to large business customers.

In addition, more than 500 flower bouquets were delivered on Valentine’s Day.

Following the latest round of negotiations held last week, IOMPO will be providing a further counter proposal to the CWU by the end of this week.
