Royal Mail bosses told of strike ballot

POSTAL workers have served notice to Royal Mail bosses that they will be balloting for national strike action next week.

The CWU will begin balloting 110,000 members at the Royal Mail Group (RMG) on September 24.

Workers are angry about the proposed fragmentation of the RMG, and are concerned that bosses are not honouring national postal agreements on terms and conditions.
