Postal workers on strike 2007.

The support for the 2007 was overwhelming. The strike action along with staff 'doing the job properly' by withdrawing from working practices such as turning up to work early (working for FREE) and taking short cuts such as taking out over weight bags and not taking their breaks, built up a huge backlog of mail. The strike was caused by senior management within Royal Mail refusing to negotiate on Pay, conditions and change of working practices. The Postal workers were successful in their campaign and achieved their aim of gaining a negotiated Pay rise and agreement to negotiate on future changes within the industry. None of these would have been achievable without the efforts of the members of the Communication Workers Union.
