Postal workers have gone out on strike again today – and more walkouts are planned in the run up to Christmas.
Workers are involved in a long-running dispute with Royal Mail over plans to change working conditions
The Communication Workers Union has announced a further 19 days of strike action to take place in the coming months. The union said it would turn jobs in the industry into a ‘casualised, financially precarious workforce overnight’. General secretary Dave Ward said: ‘Postal workers face the biggest ever assault on their jobs, terms and conditions in the history of Royal Mail.
‘It is nothing more than an asset-stripping business plan that will see the break-up of the company and the end of Royal Mail as a major contributor to the UK economy.
