An Post staff are expected to vote for strike action

WORKERS at An Post are expected to vote overwhelmingly in favour of strike action today, as another battle between unions and the company looms over the closure of SDS.

Up to 100 SDS staff protested outside Dublin's GPO yesterday as the An Post board met to discuss the company's financial situation.

However, despite union allegations that the decision to shut SDS was based on flawed financial information and projections, An Post chairwoman Margaret McGinley emerged from the meeting to confirm SDS would close with the loss of 270 jobs.
