Postal workers in Derry and across the UK are considering strike action against pension changes for a shorter working week.
Sinn Féin Foyle MLA Raymond McCartney has voiced his support for the workers.
He said: "The union has an overwhelming mandate to pursue this action following an 89% vote in favour of it.
"They Post Office should respect the right of workers to engage in mandated legal action in pursuit of legitimate goals. In this case, the postal workers are opposing changes to their pension scheme which will see members losing up to a third of their retirement benefits.
"In those circumstances, and even if there is some temporary disruption to services, I am sure the vast majority of the public will support the postal workers in any action they take ."
A People Before Profit spokesperson also voiced their support.
"Solidarity with Derry postal workers! CWU members held gate meetings earlier this week at every Royal Mail centre and office.
"The Royal Mail court injunction against their overwhelming majority strike vote won't stop their campaign for justice. If you're talking to them let them know they have your support."
