Post Office: “Business as usual in over 97% of branches despite strike call”

The Post Office has said that it will be “business as usual” in over 97 % of its network of 11,600 branches this Saturday (3 December), despite the strike action called by its unions. In a statement sent to Post&Parcel today (30 November), Kevin Gilliland, Post Office Network and Sales Director, said: “We want to reassure people that almost all of our network will be open and operating normally.

“Action affects fewer than three hundred of our branches, and many of these will be open to maintain services for customers preparing for Christmas.

“It will also be business as usual in the rest of our network – over 97% of branches will be operating their usual Saturday service.”
