Peace has broken out among postal workers in Witney and Carterton after a dispute with management was settled.

A mass meeting involving members of the Communication Workers Union saw a unanimous vote to take no further action in the row over allegations of bullying and harassment from managers.

CWU spokesman Bob Cullen said: "We have won a lot of concessions and the issue of bullying and harassment has been resolved.

"It is a better place to work now and people are much happier. Everything is now back to normal and it is business as usual."

Workers had been due to strike Wednesday, today and Friday, but the action was postponed after progress was made in talks between union leaders and management.

Members had called for a series of official strikes after alleged bullying incidents which the union said resulted in several members staying off work due to stress.

At the beginning of July, workers at the two depots took wildcat strike action which resulted in a backlog of mail to be sorted.

And at the start of September, they took three days of official strike action which delayed mail deliveries in west Oxfordshire by up to a week.

Mr Cullen added there were still 11 members of staff absent from work with stress but the backlog of mail had now been cleared and customers would experience no further delays.

Royal Mail spokesman Sue Dakin said: "We are pleased to hear that our staff have endorsed a way forward in resolving these issues and that it has been decided not to take any further strike action.

"We remain committed to building working relationships at Witney and Carterton, for the benefit of our business, our staff and, most importantly, our customers."
