STRIKING Post Office workers are set to vote on whether to accept a substantial pay boost after their “bravery and determination” won new concessions from bosses, their union has announced.

The latest deal includes a permanent 9 per cent wage increase from next month, significant one-off payments and a “wide array of additional benefits,” the Communication Workers Union (CWU) said on Saturday.

A two-week ballot on whether to accept the package, which comes after nearly a year of industrial action by the state-run firm’s workforce following a pay freeze last spring, is set to open early this week, it confirmed.
