Post Office workers lead week of strikes
A strike at the Crown Post Office has closed around 50 High Street branches. The Post Office says 250 branches are confirmed open but the union questions those figures and says even if a branch is open, there may be a reduced service. A Royal Mail spokesman said: "There will be little or no impact on Royal Mail as a result of the CWU strike at the Post Office. Deliveries will carry on as normal and the last posting dates for Christmas remain unchanged." Post Office communications officer Mark Davies said that the company was trying to become more efficient and reduce its losses, which would be good news for the taxpayer. Frances O'Grady, general secretary of the TUC trade union body, pointed out that all the strikes were for different reasons and that the focus should be on the root causes of the problem.
