is asking workers to accept voluntary redundancy.
Approximately
30,000 staff in total will lose their jobs as part of the three-year drive for

The
Royal Mail has already cut around 14,500 jobs since its renewal plan was
launched 18 months ago.
Adam
Crozier, CEO of the Royal Mail, said there was no avoiding the harsh reality
that the organisation had to reduce its overheads and become more efficient to
ensure a successful future.
