Royal Mail seeks injunction to stop postal strike

Royal Mail is seeking a High Court injunction to stop a postal strike, claiming that the ballot of workers had "Potential irregularities". The company said it would make a formal application on Friday that the strike ballot "Was unlawful and null and void". The ballot of 100,000 Royal Mail staff was held over job security and terms. In the company's statement on Friday, Royal Mail said it had evidence of CWU members coming under pressure to vote "Yes" in the ballot. A High Court hearing into Royal Mail's application for an injunction is expected to be heard early next week.
