Possible RM/PO strike Easter Saturday

I heard on the news (but didn't catch all the details) that there is a planned Royal Mail strike on Easter Saturday over terms and conditions. They mentioned post office counter staff so I am not sure if they actually mean Royal Mail or the Post Office. I can't see anything online about this though.
If they do have any form of strike that might close post offices then watch your postage- that is the last working day before the price increases take effect. Might be worth keeping an eye on your local news in case this is a localised strike.
Newly listed items should already be taking into account the price rises of course, but I notice that many sellers do not appear to have changed their prices so there may well be issues after Easter.

Found that is is post office staff, 373 Crown offices - the larger sites usually situated in high streets.

Postal staff in large stores. The one I use at the weekend is in a Spar store, so don't think will be affected.
Royal Mail will be unaffected, as they are a separate entity.0 -
They won't be on strike, but the franchise stores will be affected. As will sub post offices. They won't be able to cope, as crown offices deal with huge numbers on a Saturday.
Try getting on a bus in London when a tube strike is on.0 -
Just bumping this, as it looks like it's going ahead.0
