and on Freeview 262 or Freely 565
Post office workers from more than 100 branches across the UK are to vote on whether to strike or not, next month, in a dispute over pay.
This follows a growing trend of strikes across multiple different industries recently, starting with the RMT, which saw 50,000 workers walk out in the biggest rail strike for over three decades.

Hide AdIt has also recently been announced that around 700 British Airways workers, stationed at Heathrow will also walk out during the summer holidays.
Communications Workers Union (CWU) said the larger Royal Mail branches, often located on high streets, will strike soon.
This upcoming strike, if it goes ahead, will be the third national strike by post officer workers this year.


When is the planned strike?
The planned walkout is just for one day, and if it goes ahead, it will be on Monday, July 11.
Why is strike action being considered?
The walk out is a dispute over pay.

Hide AdThe CWU said members had turned down a pay offer that was worth three percent with effect from April as well as a £500 lump sum, which the union claimed was ‘well below inflation’.
The strike will see around 1,500 workers walkout, causing ‘considerable delays’ for consumers, the union warned.
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.
“This dispute is about dignity and respect for hard-working employees – essential public servants who, as key workers, provided unprecedented customer service during the pandemic.

“There is more than enough money for a reasonable pay rise – implementing this pay cut is a management choice, not a necessity.”
