Postal workers set for more strikes
Saturday 31st October 2009, 10:51AM GMT.
Tens of thousands of postal workers today “solidly supported” a fresh strike, crippling mail deliveries across the UK in the latest wave of walkouts to hit the Royal Mail.
And there is no end in sight to the dispute after union leaders announced a fresh wave of strikes for next week. The Communication Workers Union last night served notice of a third wave of walkouts.
They are planned across the country for next Friday and Monday, November 9.
About 77,000 delivery and collection staff walked out across the country today, the last of three days of stoppages this week.
Nearly 700 staff from 26 delivery centres in Shropshire including Oswestry, Welshpool and Ludlow took part in the 24-hour walkout, which started at 4am today.
