The University and Allied Workers Union (UAWU) is demanding a meeting with Postmaster General, Michael Gentles, to discuss the future of the island's postal service.
UAWU Senior Negotiating Officer, Ashton Johnson, says postal workers are upset about the manner in which they became aware of the impending closure of hundreds of post offices and postal agencies.
This was revealed by Gentles during Tuesday's sitting of the Public Accounts Committee.
Johnson says the postal workers are restive and need clarity.
“Even last week the Post Master met with the staff and this was not disclosed….what the union is saying, we should have dialogue, we should not learn this by the media.”
He also expressed concern that the issue has come about in middle of public sector wage negotiations.
“We prepared a letter to send to the Post Master General, we feel that good sense will prevail. It is hard at this time, at the end of what we call no increase in salaries…..this is not going down nice,” he said.
