Post Office: About 1,000 workers at risk amid plans to offload 108 branches

The Post Office has said it plans to offload its last remaining directly-owned branches, putting around 1,000 workers at risk. It confirmed that 108 crown branches, which are currently directly owned and run by the company, will be handed over to franchisees by the autumn. The process could see the sites taken over by large franchising businesses or postmasters themselves. #postoffice
