Following the news that postal workers in the UK have voted in favour of industrial action over a dispute over pay, Isle of Man Post Office (IOMPO) wishes to advise its customers that this matter does not involve its loyal and hardworking workforce.
Yesterday (Tuesday) members of the Communication Workers Union (CWU) in the UK voted in favour of strike action and while there are no dates set for the walkout and negotiations continue, IOMPO would like to assure customers it will keep them updated with any information which may impact the postal service to and from the island.
Simon Kneen, Chief Executive of IOMPO said: “Isle of Man Post Office is independent from the UK’s postal service and I am pleased to say that we have negotiated this year’s pay settlement with the unions which represent the majority of our colleagues at Isle of Man Post Office. While I hope any industrial action in the UK can be averted, I’d like to assure our valued customers that we will do all we can to ensure any disruption to our customers is kept to a minimum if strike action should go ahead.”
