The Communication Workers Union announced that ballot papers will be sent out to more than 120,000 postmen and women in a long-running row over pay, jobs and services.

The dispute has sparked walkouts across the country over the past few months which have disrupted mail deliveries.

The union has now decided to hold a national ballot, with the result due early next month.

Business groups have urged the Government to intervene in the dispute which has already caused a backlog of undelivered mail.

Deputy general secretary Dave Ward said today: "This is a simple message which Royal Mail management needs to take on board. Postal workers are striking to defend future services as well as for jobs and modern conditions."


ballot papers will be sent out to more than 120,000 postmen and women!! ::) ::)

I wonder if they are going to post the ballot papers?

Wouldn't that be shooting themselves in the foot as Half of the Ballot papers may get lost in the POST ;D ;D ;D ;D



Carrier pigeons .Plenty around Trafalgar square ... ;D
