Postal Strike due on Thursday




If you’re expecting any post in the next couple of days you might be a bit disappointed when you here that post men and women around the UK will be going on strike as from 22 October. This is because of workers are unhappy about how much they are paid. Its left nine million letters and parcels stuck in the sorting offices. The strike is because the Royal Mail has had to change some things because less Letters and parcels are being sent because of more people using the internet to stay in touch.

Although this is a problem the bosses and workers don’t agree on how to solve the problem. There have already been smaller regional strikes. Apparently the strikes will be over 48 hours so this isn’t too bad but if it’s longer than that it could cause problems. What do you think of the strike?
