STAFF at Ormskirk’s Royal Mail sorting office staged a one-day strike this week in support of two of their colleagues who had been suspended.

The workers walked out over the action which was taken against two employees after a registered package went missing.

Postal staff returned to their workplace on Tuesday.

One postal worker, who did not wish to be named, said the two colleagues at the Ormskirk Delivery Office are still suspended.

He added: “Morale is very low among the staff.

“There has been a lot of mail going missing because of the changes to our shift patterns, but these workers seem to have been suspended without any evidence.

“They have about 20 years experience between them.

“To us, it seems that the bosses are trying to get rid of people.”

Mark Walsh, branch secretary of the Communication Workers Union, said: “There has been a lot of unhappiness at the delivery office due to the shift patterns changes – and this seems to have been the straw that has broken the camel’s back.

“They seem to have done away with fact finding and treating each case on its merits on these issues.”

A spokesman for Royal Mail told the Advertiser: “Staff at Ormskirk Delivery Office took unofficial industrial action yesterday in relation to an ongoing conduct case.

“We apologise to customers for any inconvenience they experienced as a result of this action.”

The spokesman added: “Whilst we cannot comment on individual personnel issues, Royal Mail has an established conduct process.

“This is agreed by the Communication Workers Union.

“ And we will always seek to resolve issues in line with these arrangements.”
