Post Office workers could take prolonged strike action

Crown post office workers are prepared to take prolonged industrial action to defend jobs and win a fair pay rise, the deputy general secretary of the Communications Workers Union said today.

Dave Ward added:

This is the first time we have announced two days of strikes at the same time and the first time we have announced back-to-back days of strike action.
