Backlog of letters and parcels ‘out of control’

North West Today

Available for 26 days

The union representing postal workers in Derry have described a backlog in delivering letters and parcels in the run-up to Christmas as a crisis that became ‘out of control.’ The Communications Workers Union tell us their members locally have been left ‘downtrodden and frustrated’ by what happened. And a new year, a new Stormont row as the parties are at logger heads over the draft budget. We get all the latest from our political editor Enda McClafferty. Also on the show, we speak to 'Captain' Chris Millar as the Causeway Shantymen prepare to release their first album of traditional songs.
