The Post Office has expressed its disappointment that a large number of their workers have today voted in favour of strike action.

84 percent of the union members who took part in ballot voted yes to strike.

Chairman of the Post Office, Alan Crowe MLC said, 'we are saddened by todays outcome'

They've said industrial action would be reckless and its only outcome would be damage to the business.

Although they accept the pay freeze has been difficult for the workers to come to terms with, they're still strongly urging them against striking.

The members of the union account for over half of the Post Office’s workforce, during the strikes they’d be operating with just 45% of their normal levels.
