Post Office strikes announced after 'leadership failures' and 'unfair pay rises'
manchestereveningnews.co.ukStrikes have been called by Post Office workers after a ‘failure from leadership’ to offer a ‘fair’ pay package - and the collections and cash deliveries will be hit the hardest.
The Communication Workers Union (CWU) has urged senior management to “stop the spin and get serious on pay”. The CWU – which represents Post Office workers – has announced that supply chain and admin workers will walk out on Thursday, July 14.
The workers occupy vital roles at the Post Office. Some deliver cash, valuables and essential supplies to Britain’s 11,500 sub-post offices, while others process finances and work in vital administration.
The dispute is in opposition to Post Office management’s current pay offer of a three per cent pay deal for the 2022-23 financial year, alongside a one-off lump sum payment of £500, and no pay increase for the 2021-22 financial year.
