Royal Mail Plc faces the prospect of Christmas chaos, with letter and package deliveries grinding to a halt, should its workers agree this week to strike, the Sunday Times reported.
About 110,000 Communication Workers Union members have been balloted and the results on Tuesday are expected to lead to a mass strike over pay, conditions and employment terms, the newspaper said. The CWU could decide to strike at Christmas or at the end of November on Black Friday, the Times said.
