Royal Mail staff will take action over the Black Friday weekend and in the run-up to Christmas.
"We want to reach a deal, but time is running out for the CWU to change their position and avoid further damaging strike action," Royal Mail's chief executive, Simon Thompson, said earlier.
The CWU represents 115,000 workers at Royal Mail. Last month they rejected a 7% pay offer over two years.For both sides this dispute is existential. That's why it's so hard to solve. Royal Mail says it is in such financial peril that without immediate changes to working practices it could go out of business. For the Communication Workers Union, this is a last stand to stop postal workers being turned into "gig-economy couriers".
Royal Mail also wants to end the extra payments that postal workers get for doing things like driving bigger trucks. Postal workers I've spoken to say they'd lose £50 a week if those allowances were to end. The company is offering to compensate them.
