On Friday, thousands of Royal Mail employees gathered in front of Parliament to mark a new strike in the increasingly contentious conflict over jobs, wages, and working conditions.

The march was expected to draw at least 15,000 people, according to members of the Communication Workers Union (CWU), making it the largest postal workers’ protest in recent memory.

Many people in the boisterous crowd could be seen brandishing placards that read “save our Royal Mail” and “strike to win” while also waving flags and donning pink hi-vis vests.

There is little indication that the protracted dispute will be resolved anytime soon, therefore CWU General Secretary Dave Ward joined one of the numerous picket lines that were set up outside Royal Mail offices around the nation.

On Sunday, Wednesday, and Thursday of next week, there will also be strikes.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
