The UK is set for a further week of disruption to mail services as thousands of postal workers take strike action against panic-driven cuts by increasingly aggressive managers at Royal Mail.
Postal workers from Bognor Regis, Newport Isle of Wight and Greater Manchester join others in Bristol, Cambridge, Edinburgh, Glasgow, London, Middlesbrough and other offices in 24 hour strike action over the next week.
Dave Ward, CWU deputy general secretary, said: “Royal Mail needs to accept that there has been a big breakdown in trust between staff and management.
The way to resolve this and get the modernisation programme back on track is to have serious negotiations with the CWU to reach a fair and workable agreement.
“We welcome the planned meetings with Royal Mail next week, however until there is a material difference for our members we will not be in a position to call off strike action.”
“While Royal Mail has today boasted about service targets we advise the public to treat this with caution because there is a live investigation being undertaken by Postcomm which may well call the validity of these figures into question.”
Strike action takes place in the following places over the coming week:
