Royal Mail strike - 4-6 and 8-10 October
The Communication Workers Union has announced their intention to strike from 4 October until 6 October and again from 8 October until 10 October. They then propose a further rolling programme of strikes from 15 October until resolution of the dispute. This will disrupt postal deliveries until the dispute ends.
The great majority of Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) customers will avoid any inconvenience because payments are paid direct into their bank or building society accounts. If the planned action goes ahead DWP will take steps to safeguard payments to those customers who still receive cheques through the post. These arrangements will take effect from 4 October and are explained on the DWP website
