READERS have shown that they are standing in ‘solidarity’ with striking postal workers.
Thousands of postal workers across Scotland took a further day of strike action on Friday in an increasingly bitter dispute over pay and working conditions.
Around 11,000 members of the Communications Workers Union (CWU) have been locked in a dispute over changes to working conditions with Royal Mail and shows little sign of being resolved.
The union claims Royal Mail imposed a 2% pay increase on members without consultation and is “refusing” to treat employees with respect, according to general secretary Dave Ward.
They will walk out again on Sunday, with further action planned throughout December including Christmas Eve.

“A pay rise that doesn't match inflation isn't a pay rise.”
