Around 115,000 workers plan to walk out on four days at Royal Mail's busiest time of year.

Royal Mail workers will stage two 48-hour strikes around Black Friday and Cyber Monday in a row over pay, jobs and conditions.

But the union cancelled two strikes on 12 and 14 November, saying it wants to take more "proportionate" action.The union called Royal Mail's pay offer "derisory", and said the strike days include two of the the most lucrative weekends of the year for online shopping and promotional discounts at retailers.

A Royal Mail spokesperson said: "Royal Mail proposed a new pay-for-change offer to the CWU worth 9% over two years, despite making a loss of £219m in the first half of the year. The CWU's general secretary Dave Ward said the 48-hour strikes were partly in protest at the "Uberisation" of the postal service, including "widespread changes... introducing Uber-style owner-drivers, mail centre closures and changes to Sunday working".
