POSTAL workers are taking their 18th day of strike action today — and they do so with a heavy heart.
The CWU did what it could to avert a Christmas Eve strike. We offered to suspend these strikes and establish a period of calm until January 16, if Royal Mail would adopt a joint agreement incorporating its promise of no compulsory redundancies.
