Postal strikes 'delay 35m items'

[mucker]

The backlog of undelivered mail caused by the postal strikes has now risen to 35 million items, Royal Mail has said.

The statement came on the second day of the second wave of strikes. The latest action involves 400 workers at three sites in Plymouth, Stockport and Stoke.

The Communication Workers Union (CWU) said the estimate was "laughable".
