The decision to strike came after a ballot which saw members vote by 97.6 per cent for the industrial action on a 77 per cent turnout.Royal Mail say the pay offer is 5.5 per cent, something the CWU dispute, pointing out that 1.5 per cent of that is contingent on them “agreeing changes which would rip up their terms and conditions”.The final portion would be made up of a one-off £500 bonus payment due at some point in 2023.The CWU stresses that the pay offer is the imposition of a two per cent rise and nothing else.It will be the third day of action from posties this summer following previous strike days on Friday, August 26 and Wednesday, August 31.Renfrewshire Live, the new free app dedicated to bringing you around the clock breaking news, is now available to download.Powered by the Paisley Daily Express, Renfrewshire Live is your go-to source for news, features and sport with live coverage provided direct to the app, seven days a week.The dedicated team of experienced journalists, responsible for the publication of the award-winning
