The union's KZN chairperson, Siphiwe Mdletshe says they're expecting about 5000 people to take to the streets tomorrow.
"The Post Office has been unable to pay increases since 2012 because it has been facing challenges. [In terms of] salary disparities, some workers have been doing the same work but the difference in pay is huge," he said.
