PO workers to strike

POST Office workers are to stage a fresh one-day strike in a dispute over pay.

Members of the Communication Workers Union (CWU) at more than 100 Crown Post Offices – the larger branches often sited on high streets – will walk out on July 11.

The union said its members had rejected a pay offer it said was worth 3 per cent with effect from April and a £500 lump sum, which the CWU said was well below inflation.
