Royal Mail workers have begun a wave of strikes that will stretch until Christmas Eve amid a bitter dispute over pay and conditions.
Around 115,000 Communication Workers Union (CWU) members are walking off the job across the UK on Friday while “millions of pieces of mail” pile up, the union has said.
General secretary Dave Ward said: “Royal Mail bosses are risking a Christmas meltdown because of their stubborn refusal to treat their employees with respect.”
