Strikers are reporting strong support from the public as they mount scores of picket lines across the country.
Mark Dolan, London divisional representative for the CWU with striking postal workers outside the Royal Mail Islington Delivery Office in north London
The union said its members will be in London on December 9 for the “biggest strike demonstration this country has ever seen”. “They have seen their pay decline by 24%, courses are being axed, support services in the college being axed, pastoral services – a whole range of services which enable them to teach effectively have been axed because of the terrible funding.
“At the national rally in London, the entire movement will show it is behind UCU’s campaign to save higher education. It is clear those who run our universities are becoming increasingly isolated. CWU general secretary Dave Ward said: “Royal Mail bosses are risking a Christmas meltdown because of their stubborn refusal to treat their employees with respect.”
