THE Communications Workers Union (CWU) criticised postal regulator Ofcom today for leaking to the media plans by Royal Mail to scrap Saturday deliveries while failing to consult its members.
The regulator is due to publish a document this week outlining options on how Royal Mail “can evolve to more closely meet consumer needs.”
So-called industry sources over the weekend told media outlets that Ofcom could call for the abolition of the service’s universal service obligation (USO).
