Post Office workers have voted in favour of industrial action, which will lead to more strikes. It is part of a long-running dispute over pay.
Members of the Communication Workers Union (CWU) voted in a national re-ballot by 91.24% on a 65.21% turnout to continue their industrial action. Unions have to hold a fresh industrial action ballot every six months. There was also a 92.36% vote for action short of a strike such as not working overtime.
CWU acting deputy general secretary (postal) Andy Furey said: “This dispute has always been about a company having respect for dedicated public servants who, as key workers, provided unprecedented customer service during the pandemic. The determination of these people hasn’t swayed, and nor has their sense of betrayal.
