This Thursday (July 14) supply chain and administration workers will take industrial action over an effective pay cut at a time when inflation has reached record levels. Communication Workers Union (CWU) members working across the remaining Crown Post Office branches are demanding a pay rise that matches inflation instead of the current offer of 3 per cent.
Workers in Nailsea and Yate will be joining their colleagues across the UK in what will be the sixth day of industrial action this year. The Nailsea branch was closed on Monday while in Yate there was a reduced service during the 24 hour national strike over pay.
There is likely to be more strikes from Post Office workers this year if an agreement is not reached soon. 97 per cent of members had voted in favour of industrial action after working throughout the pandemic with a 0 per cent pay increase.
