Royal Mail strike: The postal workers taking a stand over 'totally inadequate' pay

From Friday 115,000 Royal Mail workers are going on strike in what has been called the "biggest strike of summer so far". Workers gathered at the Penarth Road sorting office in Cardiff to make their case.

On the picket line, Communication Workers Union branch chair and postal executive member Katrina Quirke explained the reasons for the strike. She said: "Today we are out on strike for pay.
