Mail managers take industrial action
The Unite union, which represents 900 managers, said its members will ban overtime and work to rule for 24 hours tomorrow.
The union accused the Post Office of “dragging its feet” for 16 months over a pay deal and warned of further industrial action if the dispute is not resolved.

Hide AdNational officer Brian Scott said: “Unite members will not undertake any overtime, will refuse to work any additional hours or do work not proper to their role in the organisation. They will also refuse to travel outside of their working time, nor will they work in a location other than their normal place of employment. This is an important day for Unite members in the Post Office. They are keen to impress upon their employer their dissatisfaction with the failure to reach a pay agreement with the union and see this an opportunity to protest.”
The Post Office said it remained committed to reaching an agreement with the union on pay and had “already established a lot of common ground”.
