Postal workers in Lichfield have walked out as part of a national industrial action.

Around 115,000 Royal Mail staff across the country are on strike today (26th August) in a dispute over pay.

The Communication Workers Union has demanded salaries to reflect the current cost of living.

A Royal Mail spokesperson said households would be disrupted as a result.

> “We’re really sorry for the disruption that this strike action is likely to cause to you.  
>  
> “We want to reassure you we will do everything we can to minimise disruption and get our services back to normal as quickly as possible.”  
>  
> Royal Mail spokesperson

Further industrial action is planned by the union on 31st August and 8th and 9th September.
