Members of the Communication Workers Union (CWU) will walk out on Monday at Crown Post Offices, which are the bigger Post Offices usually in the town centres. Following that, admin staff and supply chain workers will strike on Thursday, which the union warns will affect the smaller local branches.
The CWU said it was against the current offer of a 3 per cent pay increase for the 2022-23 fiscal year, as well as the offer of a one-off payment of £500, and a zero per cent increase for the 2021-22 financial year, which it pointed out was far below the rate of inflation.
CWU assistant secretary Andy Furey said: “The blame for this disruption lies entirely with the senior Post Office leadership, who have repeatedly failed – and wilfully refused – to set out a sensible and fair pay agreement."
