Mail staff strike hits deliveries

Version 0 of 1.

Royal Mail staff in Carrickfergus have gone on a 24-hour strike.

The industrial action will affect the delivery office. Management, however, said they would be working to reduce the impact on customers.

The strike is part of a UK-wide protest by members of the Communications Workers Union over pay, job security and working conditions.

Union representatives have called for negotiations over Royal Mail's modernisation plans.
