More than 100 Crown Post Offices are set to be affected by strike action next month. The one-day strike will see thousands of members of the Communication Workers Union (CWU) walk out on Monday, July 11 in a dispute over pay.
Crown Post Offices - those run directly by the Post Office - will close for one day, as workers strike against a massive real-terms pay cut. The union said its members had rejected a pay offer it said was worth 3% with effect from April and a £500 lump sum, which the CWU said was well below inflation.
It will be the third national strike by Post Office workers this year. CWU assistant secretary Andy Furey said: “No worker wants to be in this situation, but Post Office bosses can’t be surprised that callous decisions are challenged by our members.
