Isle of Man postal workers have voted in favor of a strike, according to the Communication Workers Union. The union, which represents around 250 workers, said that 84% voted in favor of the strike. The workers are asking for a pay increase, despite a pay freeze across the public sector. The Chairman of the Post Office said that he was disappointed in the vote, and that the strike will only hurt business. The union says that they want to reach a fair deal without striking, but that they will if they have to.
