Postal services still in doubt

Postal services face further disarray today as An Post repeated its warning to the public not to post any letters or parcels because of a strike involving staff at a subcontractor’s company.

The warning was first issued last Friday but, with no resolution to the strike in sight last night, An Post said it would remain in effect until further notice.

Thirty staff of IO Systems, who maintain automated sorting systems at An Post’s main mail centres, are on strike over new rosters they say cut their overtime and pay by up to 22%.
