How the Royal Mail strikes may affect you

Posted on: 22/08/2022

This precedes 4 days of striking already planned for later this month and early next month. If it were to go ahead, it would likely be the biggest industrial action taken by workers this summer in Britain, according to the CWU.

Many businesses and personal customers rely on the Royal Mail to operate commercially or stay connected. It is clear that a strike on this scale, involving more than 100,000 workers, will result in drastic disruption to deliveries nationwide. Royal Mail stated that letters will not be delivered on the days that are affected by the strike and that those customers “should expect significant disruption”. It has also said that, it has “well-developed contingency plans” and that it will try “to keep services running”.

Tackling the disruption

Companies that rely on the Royal Mail may find it useful to turn to courier services. Courier services, that are often used as an auxiliary or urgent service, may start to perform a more central role in the logistic and operations of many companies. Choosing a courier that can help collections and deliveries run smoothly, will be vital; for retention and meeting customer needs. Offering a personalised same day courier service that is reliable 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, may be essential to businesses that have relied on the royal mail to fulfil orders.
