Read our privacy policy The Royal Mail has won a High Court injunction preventing next week's planned 48-hour strike by postal workers. In a statement to the stock market on Thursday, Royal Mail said that the court's decision had confirmed that any strike action prior to completion of agreed dispute resolution procedures would be unlawful. CWU general secretary Dave Ward said last week that the dispute was a “watershed” moment that would determine not only members’ pensions, jobs and pay but also the future of the UK’s postal service. “Postal workers delivered a massive ‘Yes’ vote for strike action and we are determined to take whatever steps are necessary to deliver an agreement that will protect and enhance our members’ terms and conditions and improve the range of services on offer to customers,” he said.
