Post Office staff to walk out at Halloween in row over cuts
A total of 17 Scottish branches will be affected, including one at the Scottish Parliament.
Post Office staff are due to walk out on Halloween in a dispute over jobs, pensions and cost-cutting.
A total of 17 Scottish branches will be affected, including one at the Scottish Parliament.
The Communication Workers Union (CWU) has raised concerns over the impact of the privatisation of Post Offices.
CWU general secretary Dave Ward said: "The stakes have never been higher for the future of the Post Office, its workers and the communities they serve.
"The Post Office is at crisis point and the management and government need to listen to the workforce.
"Staff and the public are seeing little more than a glorified closure programme from the Post Office and it cannot survive by simply cutting costs.
"We are calling for the government as the owner of the Post Office to step in, halt the cuts and work with us to develop a proper strategy that will secure the future of the service."
