Ministers and officials have discussions with Royal Mail on a regular basis in its capacity as the universal service provider.
All employers must comply with their legal obligations to ensure that their workforce receive the rights and protections to which they are entitled. However, Royal Mail is an independent business, and the government has no role in its operational decisions.
