The Communication Workers Union (CWU), representing 110,000 postal workers, has indicated support for a modification to the universal service obligation rules, potentially leading to the cessation of up to 9,000 daily postal rounds. This development could result in Royal Mail cutting most Saturday deliveries, a move that may impose a multi-million-pound financial burden on taxpayers to maintain postal services.
