Photos taken 17 hours apart show heaps of post left outside a Bristol Royal Mail centre, as national strikes continue. The undelivered post was pictured on Monday and again on Tuesday (December 13) ahead of another strike day today.
Some of the containers pictured at 7pm on Monday were photographed in the same spot on Tuesday at midday. A total of 10 days of strike action has been planned by the Communication Workers’ Union (CWU), with more than 115,000 members walking out in the run up to Christmas.
Bristol Live reported earlier this week of post piling up at the Royal Mail site in Filton, with a worker of long service claiming they had never seen a backlog of deliveries like it. However, Royal Mail says the scenes are "typical for this time of year".
