BROMSGROVE postal workers rallied together with their banners and flags for the second day of union strike action on Wednesday.
The Communication Workers Union (CWE) is pushing for higher pay and better working hours for its members.
Keith Farr, Bromsgrove CWE representative, said: “The change in Royal Mail is ridiculous in terms of its management stances and what it is trying to impose on us.
“The union looks after the workers, and negotiates our terms and conditions – it negotiates pay- and this is why we are all out here.
“We have had enough with how they want to treat us – it is unacceptable.”
One of the key aspects expressed at the Bromsgrove picket line was the lack of an increase in hours and working on Sundays.
One postal delivery worker Michelle Halley expressed frustration about not receiving toilet breaks and said longer hours would force her to wait longer to go.
Fears of the cost of living rising have also led to more workers being concerned in terms of pay and how they would survive in up and coming months.
A Royal Mail spokesperson said: “The CWU’s self-centred actions with the wider trade union movement is putting jobs at risk and making pay rises less affordable.
“We are losing £1million a day, and the CWU’s strike action is making our situation worse.”
The Royal Mail said the CWU had failed to respond to its latest invitation to meet to discuss change and pay.
Further strikes are due to take place on Thursday and Friday, September 8 and 9.
