Postal workers will strike on 4 November in the Communication Workers Union’s first national strike since 2009.
The immediate industrial fight is over workplace issues including pensions, but the wider context is the fight against the privatisation of Royal Mail.
Postal workers should seek maximum coordination and joint support with other striking unions, including joint demonstrations, rallies, and mutual picket line support.
Probation workers in the NAPO union also recently voted by an 84.4% majority for strikes, and could join the autumn strike wave.
