Postal workers must consider pay offer

The country's 10,000 postal workers are to consider whether to accept a pay rise offer of 5.5% over four years.

The proposal was made during talks with An Post management at the Labour Relations Commission.

But the Communications Workers' Union has said An Post's plans for the future of collection and delivery services would have a devastating effect on the country's postal system.

National Officer Sean McDonagh has said they are also seeking a mandate for industrial action.
