Postal strike called off
Workers 'do not want to penalise public'
A planned 24-hour strike by Royal Mail workers that could have disrupted festive postal deliveries in the Luton and Dunstable area has been called off.
Members of the Communication Workers Union at the Dawson Road processing centre in Bletchley, Milton Keynes, had scheduled the industrial action for December 19. But they now say they don't want to penalise the public who have shown them such support.
The dispute centres on Royal Mail plans to close the centre and open a regional distribution depot near Junction 15 of the M1, which the union says could cause 600 job losses at Bletchley.
