The Communication Workers Union (CWU) has told Royal Mail it must make significant progress in resolving its pensions dispute by 6 September to avoid industrial action.
Royal Mail has finalised its proposal for its future pension provision ahead of closing its defined benefit (DB) scheme to existing members next year.
The Communication Workers Union (CWU) is calling on Royal Mail to merge its defined benefit (DB) and defined contribution (DC) members into a risk sharing pension scheme.
Royal Mail has started a formal consultation process on closing its "unaffordable" defined benefit (DB) scheme to future accrual from April 2018.
