Post Office managers strike
Hundreds of Post Office managers are to go on strike today in a row over pay. Unite has warned the action will hit services at the larger branches, usually sited on high streets.
Post Office strike: ball 'in management's court'
A Unite official has defended the union's decision for Post Office managers to go on strike.
Brian Scott said: "While we understand that the industrial action will cause inconvenience to the public, the ball is in the management's court - as it has been for the last 16 months - to reach a fair and equitable settlement.
"Unite is ready to have talks at anytime with the Post Office to resolve this matter, but the management has taken a very hardline stance against our members who have seen their living standards seriously eroded."
