Sorting staff wait for jobs news

Staff at Coventry's postal sorting office should hear soon if jobs are being transferred elsewhere.

The Post Office has said it needs to shut the Bishop Street office and move operations to Northampton because the Coventry site is no longer suitable.

The move would mean 500 jobs would have to be transferred from the Bishop Street office.

Consultations have been held and the Post Office is expected to make an announcement on Monday.

Mick Kavanagh from the Communication Workers Union has said workers may strike if the move goes ahead.
