Managers at Royal Mail will go on strike later this month in a dispute over job cuts and pay, the Unite trade union has said
Some postal staff could refuse to cross picket lines or work in buildings without a manager present, leading to further disruption.Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said:"This business is awash with cash but it is putting profits and dividends for the few at the top ahead of its duties as a public service."They are being driven entirely by a culture of greed and profiteering which has seized a 500-year-old essential service, driving it close to ruin.
The company also expressed disappointment in the decision and said there were"no grounds for industrial action". "The extended consultation on our recent restructure concluded earlier this year, and the restructuring is complete," a spokesperson said.
