Complaints flooded in with locals saying the tea break created a major disruption to postal services.
Eleven postal workers were reportedly suspended by Royal Mail after having a cup of tea at a local pub.
According to the Liverpool Echo, Royal Mail has declined to comment on internal affairs after being slammed for their handling of the situation. The company has apologised to those who experienced delays with three of the workers being reinstated. He added: “I wrote to the local management on July 20 and requested a response to my concerns and clarity on what steps they were taking to improve both industrial relations and delivery services. As of today they haven’t replied.
Oxton councillor Stuart Kelly said: “These suspensions have meant that existing staff are unable to cope with delivering the postal service from the Prenton depot resulting in many Oxton residents receiving important letters, including hospital appointments, late or not at all.” “Whatever their internal management problems, people in Oxton and Prenton want a proper post service and it is essential that Royal Mail focus on providing that.”Kevin Donovan, 77 from Birkenhead, said he first noticed there was an issue after his post had been irregular for several weeks, adding: “I am waiting for a health examination and worry that the appointment letter is in a mountain of undelivered mail in Prenton.
