UNITED with the rest of the movement, striking postal workers will defeat “the biggest attack on a group of workers since the miners,” Communication Workers Union leader Dave Ward told a riotous strike rally this morning.
Posties took their eighth successive day of strike action today, joined by Royal Mail cleaners and engineers taking action for the first time.
A constellation of trade union leaders joined “virtually every postie from this office” and crowds of activists from multiple unions outside Royal Mail’s Brighton delivery office to pledge support for workers striking for pay, jobs and the company’s future.
