Royal Mail workers are set to strike for 48 hours from 19 October in a dispute over pensions, pay and jobs. My postie thinks talks will avert this as the company has been privatised since the last lot of strikes. He would have preferred an overtime ban rather than a full out strike.

Sucks when the postal service goes on strike but then again we went through covid and no post at all so I guess we cant complain

For a moment, I thought the post had arrived today... but it was my imagination!
I don't like not having post arrive, but I do however support the posties on this particular dispute.

It has been advised to send Christmas cards early. There may be quite a bit of strike action next month.

There were strikes on the 24th & 25th, 30th November and 1st December.
There are strikes announced for 9th, 11th, 14th, 15th, 23rd, and 24th December 2022.
Last recommended posting dates to arrive before Christmas have been revised, and likely to be earlier (maybe up to a week or so).
