17/6/2009Local postal workers set for weekend strike action

Postal delivery workers in Cowdenbeath are set to strike from 9am on Saturday

Postal workers in Cowdenbeath are set to strike this weekend, as part of national action by CWU members.

10,000 staff at offices across London are expected to strike on Friday, with workers in Edinburgh, and here in Cowdenbeath set to join them at 9am on Saturday.

The union is taking the action in protest at plans to sell part of the Royal Mail to a private equity firm, along with 'cost savings' which they claim will lead to 'massive' job losses.
