Safer hours negotiated for PO staff

Communications workers’ union the CWU has reached an agreement which restores the principle of reduced post office opening hours in order to reduce the risk of Covid-19 exposure.

CWU assistant secretary Andy Furey said: “When the situation began to worsen again in the latter part of last year, we pressed the business to re-open the issue and have been in discussions with them to return to limited opening hours.

“This has been a data-led decision based upon weekly and hourly customer footfall and, crucially, takes account of feedback received.
