National strikes by postal workers will go ahead on Thursday and Friday after hopes of reaching a last minute deal collapsed.
Up to 120,000 members of the Communication Workers Union (CWU) will stage two 24-hour walk-outs, crippling mail deliveries across the country.
The union warned of further strikes in the coming weeks and launched an extraordinary attack on Business Secretary Lord Mandelson, saying he was working "hand in hand with the Royal Mail" to "undermine the dispute".
General secretary Billy Hayes accused him of being the "minister without responsibility".

Don't you have deliveries on Saturday then ??

[raindropsies]

Not true Craig.

Some people are working today & Thursday, it's not the whole work force on strike at the same time.

Also Saturday delivery to homes should take place as normal

Every time I see Mandleson I feel like I need a shower to get clean again.

The fact that he is where he is perfectly illustrates the corruption and nepotism of this government.

Hi Sarah, Thursday its the postal guys out on strike, friday its the sorters out on strike. reason why I said no post til monday is it'll probably take em all day saturday to sort the mess out.

Which reminds me I must phone my boss up to see what day he wants me in to sort out the post.
