Postal workers are to stage a one-day strike after voting 4-1 in favour of walkouts over issues linked to the controversial privatisation of Royal Mail. An ITV News poll showed that the British public are split over the strike.
Nearly three quarters of British adults (72%) expect postal services will be more expensive after Royal Mail's privatisation, the ITV News Index carried out by ComRes has found.
Just 11% of those surveyed did not agree that prices would rise.
However, 22% expect Royal Mail customer service will improve following its privatisation, compared to 48% who said they did not think that would be the case.
Postal workers have voted in favour of a one-day strike over issues linked to the controversial privatisation of Royal Mail.
The Communication Workers Union have voted overwhelmingly for strike action next month, with tough talk of 'industrial warfare.'
