Fresh dispute in lead-up to postal strike

MANAGEMENT and unions at An Post were embroiled in a fresh dispute last night in the lead-up to tomorrow’s 24-hour stoppage.

As An Post workers prepare to down tools and march on Dáil Eireann on Wednesday, the Labour Relations Commission was seeking to reach agreement on a deal to restore postal services in Galway.

More than 100,000 items of mail were left unsorted in the Galway region after the latest dispute between the two sides emerged yesterday.
