Port-of-Spain: 
The Postal Workers Trade Union is promising industrial action soon if management enforces its latest cost-saving exercise which would they believe would lead to tremendous job losses.
The union is warning of possible disruption to the delivery of mail.
General Secretary Reginald Critchlow insists that the new service is really a way of introducing retrenchment.
According to Critchlow, under the new plans instead of the processing of mail being done within 24 hours, it will be done over a 48 to 72-hour period, which will see a reduction of staff by almost 50 percent because there will be less work involved.
Describing this as a violation of the Industrial Relation Act he adds that workers will be forced to take action.
He has suggested that the intended plan will also see a reduction in the delivery of mail on a timely basis.
