PARCEL delivery chaos beckons, Unite has warned, after its members in Royal Mail voted to strike over more job cuts. 

The union slammed the privatised company on Wednesday evening, saying it was “awash with cash” while trying to axe 542 front-line managerial positions on top of the 420 jobs already lost.

About 2,400 managers across more than 1,000 delivery offices backed walkouts by 86 per cent, while 91 per cent voted for industrial action short of a strike, Unite confirmed.
