Post Office workers in the UK are being asked to vote on a 9 percent pay offer following "an extremely lengthy dispute" with employers, Britain's Communication Workers Union (CWU) said on Saturday.
"It's our view that the money now on offer marks a considerable step forward – several steps forward – from what was initially an unacceptable position on the part of the employer," said CWU acting deputy general secretary Andy Furey.
Thousands of Post Office workers have been in dispute over pay since early last year, holding eight strikes and other forms of industrial action.
The CWU said the deal, which has been endorsed by its postal executive, would provide lump sum payments for all workers ranging between 1,925 pounds ($2,354.28) and 3,000 pounds, as well as a wide array of additional benefits.
It will now be put to a ballot of members, with voting beginning early next week and closing on April 11.
