All power to the posties

THIS week began with a victory for striking workers at Royal Mail’s Hamilton delivery office. It brought to an end the latest of many unofficial postie walkouts to take place in recent years.

Star readers will be familiar with stories of heroic Communication Workers Union members standing up for victimised colleagues or fighting back against bullying bosses at depots across the country.

This weekend, couriers at private parcels firm DPD’s Cambuslang depot in Glasgow will strike over cuts to their per-parcel pay rate, in an action organised by general union GMB.
