AROUND 100 postmen and women walked out on strike this morning (April 1) at Bridgwater Delivery Office - but they have now returned to work. According to the Communication Workers Union (Bristol & District Branch) - which represents 3,000 Post Office and Royal Mail staff across Bristol, Somerset and the South Gloucestershire area - workers were protesting about the dismissal of a colleague with 26 years of service, who was due to retire in a matter of weeks. The postman had been dismissed for poor attendance but colleagues say that his health conditions were not taken into account and that the process was not followed, the CWU added.
