Post Offices across the country will face massive disruption next Tuesday as members of the Communication Workers Union take industrial action over pay.
The union says Post Office management are insisting on a pay freeze for 2021-2022, despite the company generating a profit for the last two years during the pandemic.
CWU assistant secretary Andy Furey has called the offer an insult”.
The action on May 3 was voted for by 97.3 per cent of the union’s Post Office members.
This is the first national Post Office strike for a number of years and the responsibility for this situation lies 100 per cent with the senior management and their stubborn, arrogant and downright disrespectful attitude towards their workforce, he continued.
They have told us that they’re freezing pay in keeping with official government and public-sector pay policy.
But that’s an outrageous and dishonest excuse as the government’s austerity measures do not apply to the Post Office.”
