Post Office workers back on strike??

[Rubberpigg]

I just went to the post office to post off some parcels overseas and the guy behind the counter said that he is not sure if the parcels will be collected today because he has heard that the strike might have resumed again?
Anyone heard anything?

I was at the post office today to collect the post and the post box was empty for maybe more than 2 weeks and the Post Office was closed and there was a notice on the glass door that they are working with skeleton staff and there was nobody in the post office, this was at Cresta Mall

Post Office in the new South Africa

I just returned from the Post Office, to empty my Po Box
Monday it was empty, but this morning I've received a few
Letters. Opening them at Home I saw it was mail from June
till August 2008. Even a Telkom account if undelivered within
7 days to be returned. The account to be paid before 4th Dec
2008.
Also a life existence Form for my Pension from June 2008.
and a few importand Documents from Old Mutual to be kept
in a safe place.
This is crazy, I don't know if I should complain at the Post Office
or ask them to strike again since I might receive than even older
Mail.
But no new Mail.

The South African Post Office takes urgent legal action

Pretoria – The Post Office has noted with shock and disappointment the increased levels of violence and criminal actions that flared up overnight. The Witspos, Tshwane, Germiston and Krugersdorp mail centres had to be temporarily closed on Tuesday evening to protect property and employees that are working following damage to property, threats of violence and intimidation at these centres. Normal operations at all the other mail centres continue after employees returned to work on Monday.

In response to this, the South African Post Office is applying for an urgent court interdict. The South African Post Office is also taking all appropriate measures to ensure the safety of our customers, employees and property.

“Following the agreement with the CWU, any industrial action is unprotected and the South African Post Office reserves the right to deal with such actions appropriately,

Less than 1% of Post Offices still closed to the public

Pretoria – A handful of Post Office branches in Gauteng are still closed since workers started returning to work on Monday. The South African Post Office (Sapo) is aware that some members of Communication Workers Union (CWU) may not yet be aware that the strike has been suspended and the taxi situation may also be impacting on our operations with employees unable to return to work due to lack of adequate transport.

CWU continues to communicate the agreement reached between both parties on Friday to its members, and the Post Office is confident that all operations will soon be back to normal.The South African Post Office is confident that it will address backlogs resulting from the strike in a week.

Got a call from my wife about this as well this morning, she's been waiting for a parcel since before the strike began, when it was finally announced that the strike was over she believed that she may finally be able to collect it.

Tracking number in hand she went to the post office on monday, checked our postbox to find that there was nothing inside. After that she went in to the post office itself to collect her parcel with her tracking number, the employees refused to help her. She went back today to find out that they post office is on strike again...
