Letters will go undelivered and many bins uncollected in Perth and Kinross today (August 26) due to strike action involving two separate union pay disputes.
Around 115,000 Royal Mail employees are involved nationwide following a dispute over pay and working conditions.
And Perth and Kinross Council waste and recycling staff will also strike after members of the GMB union confirmed they will go ahead with their own walkouts starting today with three more planned for the weeks ahead.
