Second strike for Dundee posties

More than 100 staff from the Royal Mail's Dundee East depot are set to strike.

This will be the second walkout over the measures, although the Dundee depot is the only one in Scotland to be striking over the introduction of a new policy to replace full-time positions with part-time workers. It comes as part of a widespread move to replace 40 hour sorting and delivery posts with 30 hour part-time delivery-only posts when they become vacant.

Last weekend's strike in Dundee saw managers being drafted in as scab labour to maintain business and home deliveries.
