Royal Mail calls for reduced deliveries in postal reforms

Royal Mail plans to cut second-class letter deliveries on Saturdays, possibly leading to up to 1,000 job cuts to save £300 million yearly.
The proposal aims to secure a stable financial future for the company, protecting jobs and conditions while allowing for voluntary redundancies.
If implemented, daily delivery routes could be reduced, while keeping a six-day first-class mail service, with reforms potentially introduced by April 2025.
