Oxford postal strike continues as Abingdon wildcats

Posties on unofficial strike since Monday are due to meet this morning, as a suspended worker is re-instated after a wildcat walkout in Abingdon.

The Oxford Mail reported that millions of items of post will be left undelivered for days as 500 Royal Mail workers in Oxford continue with an unofficial strike.

The employees at the sorting depot in Cowley are involved in a dispute which began on Monday afternoon when post worker and CWU steward Steven Gill was suspended.
