Top UK retailers have announced the final days you can order from them online and still get your gifts in time for Christmas. This is particularly important amid the Royal Mail strikes.
Workers are set to strike today and tomorrow (December 14 and 15) and on the few days before Christmas on December 23 and 24. Members of the Communication Workers Union (CWU) are set to walk out in an increasingly bitter dispute over pay, jobs and conditions, with picket lines mounted outside sorting and delivery offices.
A Royal Mail spokesperson said the CWU striking at the busiest time of year is ‘deliberately holding Christmas to ransom for customers, businesses and families’. They continued: “We are doing everything we can to deliver Christmas for our customers, and would like to thank the increasing number of posties returning to work each strike day, temporary workers and managers from across the business who are helping to keep the mail moving.”
