Thousands of Scottish postal workers are taking a further day of strike action today after talks between union representatives and Royal Mail reached a standstill.
Around 11,000 members of the Communications Workers Union (CWU) are embroiled in an increasingly bitter dispute over pay and working conditions with the postal service, with little sign of resolve.

They will walk out again on Sunday, with further action planned throughout December including Christmas Eve. "Royal Mail bosses are risking a Christmas meltdown because of their stubborn refusal to treat their employees with respect," said Mr Ward.
