Postal strikes announced

THREE full-day strikes for postal workers have been called for May 4, 15 and 22, and partial strikes for April 30, May 14 and 21.

CCOO, UGT, CSI-F and Sindicato Libre trade unions, which represent 80 per cent of Correos post office union members, have called the strikes to push negotiations which have been blocked for a year and a half and to protest at the loss of 15,500 jobs since 2010.
