FRESH strike action was today promised by the Communication Workers Union and will affect workers at Peterborough Delivery Office, Peterborough Distribution and Kings Lynn Sorting Office.
A union spokesman said: "The further industrial action is in response to Royal Mail's continued attacks on member's terms and conditions and the reliability of mail deliveries to the public and business.
"The CWU continue to offer to modernise the Postal Industry by reaching national agreements with Royal Mail.
