ROYAL MAIL BOARD RESIGNATIONS: UNION STATEMENT

Responding to the announcement of resignations from the Royal Mail Group board, CWU General Secretary Dave Ward said:  “The news that members of the Royal Mail Group Board have resigned today, following the completion of the takeover of EP Group, will come as welcome news to postal workers across the UK.

“Led by chairman Keith Williams, the previous senior leadership team have overseen the gross mismanagement of one of the UK’s most important companies.

“They have destroyed the service provided to millions of customers and businesses and have callously targeted their own workforce in the attempt to create a low wage, gig economy style employer.

“Keith Williams and many of his colleagues represent everything that is wrong with modern business leaders: paid and rewarded for failure whilst having zero vision.

“The CWU will now work with the new Board members to ensure the full terms of our groundbreaking agreement with EP Group are upheld.

“We have to rebuild Royal Mail, and that starts with rebuilding trust with its workforce and customers.”
