Post Office 'sticks two fingers up' & cuts hundreds of jobs

The Post Office is cutting 300 jobs due to the closure and franchising of Crown offices – Sky News reports.

127 specialist financial roles are also being cut.  

The Communication Workers' Union (CWU) said these cuts add to the 2,000 from last year.

Dave Ward, CWU’s General Secretary, said: “The latest round of closures is further evidence that the Post Office is in crisis and that the Board of the company, backed by the Government, is simply pursuing a strategy of slash and burn.
