Postal strikes to take place next week
Two days of national postal strikes will take place next week after Royal Mail and unions failed to strike a last minute deal.
The Communication Workers Union announced this afternoon that there would be nationwide stoppages next Thursday and Friday.
The CWU repeated its offer of further talks with Royal Mail management to avert the industrial action, which will see postal deliveries ground to a halt.
Royal Mail responded by saying that the move was an “appalling and unjustified” attack on customers.
Google Doodle Charles Darwin
Charles Robert Darwin FRS (12 February 1809 – 19 April 1882) was an English naturalist who realised and demonstrated that all species of life have evolved over time from common ancestors through the process he called natural selection. The fact that evolution occurs became accepted by the scientific community and much of the general public in his lifetime, while his theory of natural selection came to be widely seen as the primary explanation of the process of evolution in the 1930s,and now forms the basis of modern evolutionary theory. In modified form, Darwin’s scientific discovery is the unifying theory of the life sciences, providing logical explanation for the diversity of life.
