Postal workers at Liverpool's new main delivery centre have returned to work after a 24-hour unofficial strike.

About 90 staff, who recently moved from Copperas Hill to Brunswick Dock, walked out over claims Royal Mail management had broken promises.

They accused the company of withdrawing redundancy offers and said parts of the new depot were too cramped.

But after talks between managers and the Communication and Workers Union (CWU), staff returned on Saturday.

CWU branch secretary Mark Walsh said talks with managers would continue next week.

He said: "[We want] to make sure the issue doesn't rear its head again and they honour the agreement they've signed."

The Royal Mail said the unofficial action had affected deliveries in the Liverpool 1, 2 and 3 postcode districts.

Residents in Liverpool 8, which is also covered by the depot, were unaffected.

On Saturday, a spokesman said: "All staff at the Liverpool South delivery office are working normally today.

"We hope to clear any backlog of mail from yesterday's unofficial strike action by Monday."

Goes to show that managements haven't learned anything and we can look forward to more such disputes round the Country, whether the new agreement get in or not
