Taylor Alison Swift is an American singer-songwriter. She is known for narrative songs about her personal life, which have received widespread media coverage. At age 14, Swift became the youngest artist signed by the Sony/ATV Music publishing house and, at 15, she signed her first record deal.
Her 2006 eponymous debut album was the longest-charting album of the 2000s in the US. Its third single, "Our Song", made her the youngest person to single-handedly write and perform a number-one song on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. Swift's second album, Fearless, was released in 2008.
Buoyed by the pop crossover success of the singles "Love Story" and "You Belong with Me", it became the US' best-selling album of 2009 and was certified diamond in the US. The album won four Grammy Awards, and Swift became the youngest Album of the Year winner.
Post Office strikes announced after 'leadership failures' and 'unfair pay rises'
manchestereveningnews.co.ukStrikes have been called by Post Office workers after a ‘failure from leadership’ to offer a ‘fair’ pay package - and the collections and cash deliveries will be hit the hardest.
The Communication Workers Union (CWU) has urged senior management to “stop the spin and get serious on pay”. The CWU – which represents Post Office workers – has announced that supply chain and admin workers will walk out on Thursday, July 14.
The workers occupy vital roles at the Post Office. Some deliver cash, valuables and essential supplies to Britain’s 11,500 sub-post offices, while others process finances and work in vital administration.
The dispute is in opposition to Post Office management’s current pay offer of a three per cent pay deal for the 2022-23 financial year, alongside a one-off lump sum payment of £500, and no pay increase for the 2021-22 financial year.
