Royal Mail: Problems of changing culture

A nice update on trade union opposition to privatisation at Royal Mail. Especially useful for bullet point 5 (problems of changing organisational culture).

The Save Our Royal Mail campaign, supported by the trade union, suggests that the trade union is "in a different place" to senior management on how the organisation needs to respond to the changed competitive environment it is faced with.

As you know the current leadership, including MD Moya Greene, are very keen on the privatisation of the business.
