POST Office workers are to stage fresh strikes in escalating action over pay, their union announced today.
Members of the Communication Workers Union (CWU) will walk out on August 26, 27 and 30, with some of the action coinciding with strikes by BT, Openreach and Royal Mail employees.
It will be the fourth round of action by Post Office workers, including in larger high street “Crown” offices, administration and across the supply chain.
Around 2,000 workers will walk out on August 26, the same day as 115,000 postmen and women from all parts of Britain go on strike in a separate row over pay.
Crown office employees will strike again on August 27, while supply chain and admin members of the union will walk out on August 30.
CWU assistant secretary Andy Furey said: “We’re as determined as we have ever been to keep fighting and win a settlement that will protect our members’ standard of living through these exceptionally difficult economic times.”
