Local Post Offices hit by strike

The future of postal services is in the spotlight today.

Members of the Communication Workers' Union who work in post offices are on strike, in protest at a plan that would see 70 city centre and high street branches transferring to retailers.

They fear poorer pay and conditions for staff who move over, as well as large-scale job losses.

The union are also fighting the privatisation of Royal Mail which is separate from the Post Office - saying this would lead to fewer deliveries, a poorer service to the public, and staff cuts.
