Proceeding contribution from Geraldine Smith (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 20 October 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Royal Mail.
Royal Mail
If Royal Mail's case is so strong, why is it not prepared to go to arbitration? Why is it saying that it will consider it only if the union calls off the strike? That is silly playground posturing. It should get to arbitration, and arbitration should be binding on both sides. This is causing misery for businesses and people up and down the country, and the Government are washing their hands of it. Get in and sort this out!
