A PLANNED strike by Royal Mail workers on Friday has been called off following the Queen’s death.
Members of the Communication Workers Union were due to continue a 48-hour walkout in a dispute over pay and conditions.
General secretary Dave Ward said: “Following the very sad news of the passing of the Queen and out of respect for her service to the country and her family, the union has decided to call off tomorrow’s planned strike action.”
It comes after the RMT confirmed that their planned strikes, due to take place on September 15 and 17, had been suspended.
