Royal Mail workers are striking at the Grantham Royal Mail depot once more this morning as part of a dispute over their pay and conditions.
The Communication Workers Union (CWU) said its 115,000 members across the UK are taking action, describing it as the largest strike in a year that has seen unrest across a multitude of sectors, including rail workers and barristers.
Picket lines were mounted outside Royal Mail offices across the country, including Wharf Road, Grantham.
Dave Ward, CWU general secretary, said: “Royal Mail bosses are risking a Christmas meltdown because of their stubborn refusal to treat their employees with respect.
“Postal workers want to get on with serving the communities they belong to, delivering Christmas gifts and tackling the backlog from recent weeks.”But they know their value, and they will not meekly accept the casualisation of their jobs, the destruction of their conditions and the impoverishment of their families.”
Royal Mail workers will be striking again tomorrow – 15th December and the 23rd & 24th December.
