BREAKING: Post Office workers to launch national strike across all Crown branches
The United Kingdom's 114 Crown Post Offices will close for one day in July as workers strike against what the Communication Workers Union is calling a 'massive real-terms pay cut'.
This is in the context of the RPI inflation rate being 11.7% for May, and despite the fact that the Post Office made £35 million in profits during the pandemic . This is the third national strike by Post Office workers this year. “Our members feel betrayed and will not tolerate their living standards being smashed by people in charge of a public service that due to our members’ efforts made tens of millions of pounds in annual profits. There is more than enough money for a reasonable pay rise – implementing this pay cut is a management choice, not a necessity.
The latest Crown Post Office strike took place on June 4. Following this, a Post Office spokesperson said: “We want to assure our customers that the vast majority of our branches are unaffected by CWU strike action on Saturday. There are 114 branches, typically in city centres, that are directly managed by the Post Office.
