A second postal strike at Stanmore’s Royal mail sorting office has been announced for next week.

Angry staff will stage another walk out on Monday, September 30 at the Parr Road depot, Honeypot Lane.

Yesterday, up to 50 members of the Communication Workers’ Union went on strike in a row over working conditions.

Whilst the sorting office stayed open, Royal Mail was forced to bring in volunteers as well as managers from as far away as Bedfordshire to take deliveries.

The postal firm is urging customers it will do its best to minimise disruption, but service posters will be displayed at the branch to advise.

Kevin Gilliland, Network and Sales Director at the Post Office said: “The CWU are calling for an above inflation pay agreement when last year our overall performance was a loss of £116m, we must reverse this loss of public money.

"Strike action can only cost our people money, cause disruption to customers and threaten our plans to turn the business around and keep our branches on high streets and in city centres across the UK.

“The CWU have refused their members a fair and affordable pay offer of cash payments totalling up to £3400 by April 2015, and are failing to recognise the financial realities faced by the Crown network.

“Any action will not affect over 97 per cent of the Post Office network and the majority of Crown branches have remained open during previous strike action.”

Trying to get my head round this one. First of all it,s 50 Royal Mail Sorting Office Workers on strike and then some guy from The Post Office cherps in and responds about the losses the Post Office made. Wires crossed me thinks.

And a fireman said plans were in place to deal with any emergency.
