 | | WEST LOTHIAN, ScotlandPostal workers in Broxburn, West Lothian, picket the government postal company, Royal Mail, at the Broxburn sorting office during an April 26 one-day strike to protest the offices closure. |
 | | A Communications Workers Union (CWU) representative, Joe Dunnigan (second from left, with glasses), who has worked at Broxburn for eight years, told the Militant: For more than six years we have been demanding a new sorting office in Broxburn, on health and safety grounds. |
 | | Then, without consulting either the workers or the public, Royal Mail decided to close it, transferring us either to Livingstona bus journeyor near Bathgate, which is two bus journeys away. The new location will also mean that Broxburn residents have to travel farther to pick up mail. |
