Further industrial action is planned at Keighley Post Office next week.
A spokesman for the Communcation Workers Union (CWU) said staff would take part in another walk-out from 1pm on Monday. Employees fear for the future of the Towngate branch, as Post Office bosses are reviewing the operations of the facility. They say it is running at a loss, so are seeking a partner retailer to ensure its viability.
CWU members staged a half-day walkout at the Keighley Post Office last Friday, and handed out leaflets to the public.
David Bowmaker, CWU territorial representative, said: “We had great support again from the public - they’re really on board with what we’re saying.
“It seems ridiculous that the Post Office is saying they can’t make a go of the Keighley branch. And if it isn’t making a profit who will buy it?”
