About 90 postal workers went on strike after their workloads were increased without any formal agreement.

Every postman and woman at the Braintree Royal Mail depot in Lakes Road went on strike yesterday.

Braintree’s communication workers’ union spokesman Matt Amos said: “We have all got bigger rounds with no actual agreement.”

In the last two months, four people retired and one person was promoted.

Their five rounds had to be absorbed by the existing workforce, said Mr Amos.

Mr Amos said: “We want Royal Mail to sit and talk with the union and stop bringing in more work without an agreement.”

Paul Tolhurst, Royal Mail’s operations director, said: “Their claimed support for change is no more than lip service but their determination to damage services and undermine the future health of the business and the Universal Service is increasing.

“Royal Mail is getting on with modernisation in an entirely fair and reasonable way which is completely in line with our existing agreement with the union on flexible working practices.”

These words are becoming boring now "Their claimed support for change is no more than lip service but their determination to damage services and undermine the future health of the business and the Universal Service is increasing"
