An Post to sue union for lost earnings after one-day strike

Posted by | Dec 9, 2004 | |

An Post management was last night preparing to sue the postal workers’ union to recover revenue lost through yesterday’s one-day official strike.

A total of 93 post offices, all of them large offices run totally by An Post, were closed by yesterday’s action, though more than 1,200 sub-offices remained open.

A well-supported protest march by An Post workers, who were joined by retired colleagues, caused disruption in Dublin city centre yesterday.

High-powered lawyers will be engaged by An Post in a bid to recover assets from the Communications Workers’ Union (CWU).
