Royal Mail staff set to vote on strike action that could have huge impact on deliveries

Staff at the postal giant could go on strike in the coming months in a row over pay, with 115,000 workers set to be balloted on the decision. A ‘yes’ majority could have a massive effect on post and parcel deliveries.
