What to expect from the rest of the Jubilee weekend

As the nation enjoys the long weekend, Post Office and admin workers are set to strike starting from Saturday, June 4th. The strike will impact Crown Post Offices rather than those owned by third parties. It is aimed to cause the most disruption at a time that is least likely to impact employee pay. 

Andy Furey, Assistant Secretary for the Communications Workers Union (CWU), said: “Affordability isn’t management’s problem here. Frankly, their degrading excuse for an offer has only hardened members, who won’t tolerate a collapse in their living standards.”
