LONDON, Oct 13: Britain’s Royal Mail and union leaders agreed in principle on Friday to end a dispute that has caused crippling postal service stoppages and disrupted businesses.

Royal Mail management and union leaders issued a joint statement after hours of talks that said only: “Agreed terms covering all the issues in the dispute will be considered by the union executive on Monday.”

Details of the agreement will only be released after it has been submitted to the union executive for approval on Monday.
