UK Customers please note:
Royal Mail workers pledged on Thursday to go ahead with three days of strikes in London next week despite condemnation from a minister who accused them of sticking their head in the sand.
The announcement comes a day after Business Secretary Peter Mandelson said the government was shelving a plan, opposed by unions, to sell a stake in the state-owned postal services operator as part of a plan to make it more competitive. The strikes, in protest at what the union says are cuts in jobs and wages, are spread over three days from next Wednesday to Friday, the Communications Workers' Union (CWU) said. Delivery workers will strike on Wednesday, distribution and logistics staff on Thursday, and mail centres on Friday, disrupting London's mail network. Reuters UK (1 July, 2009)
