Postal workers in pay cut strike

Post services in parts of Staffordshire and Warwickshire will be affected on Friday as workers take part in industrial action.

More than 12,000 postal workers across the UK are involved in the 24-hour strike in a dispute over "arbitrary" job cuts and pay.

The Communication Workers Union has accused Royal Mail of cutting pay, jobs and services without agreement.

Deliveries will be affected in Leamington Spa and Stoke-on-Trent.
