POSTAL SERVICE

Early day motion 2080, tabled 10 October 2007 by John McDonnell (Labour). Signed by 32 members.

That this House notes that the postal service is invaluable to communities across the United Kingdom; further notes that there is continuing industrial action over pay and cuts to jobs and services; is concerned at the failure of Royal Mail management to resolve the dispute, despite the continued willingness of the Communication Workers Union to negotiate; and therefore calls upon the Government as sole shareholder, and on the Prime Minister personally, to intervene to settle this dispute for the good of the United Kingdom postal service and its hardworking employees.

Signatures by party: Labour 23, Liberal Democrat 4, Independent 2, DUP 1, Plaid Cymru 1, Scottish National Party 1.
