Thursday 8 September 2022 12:14 AM Royal Mail workers will stage ANOTHER strike later this month trends now
Postal services are set to be massively disrupted even more this month after Royal Mail workers voted to stage a further 48-hour strike later this month.
Around 115,000 Royal Mail staff will go on strike on September 30 in a dispute over pay and conditions, the Communication Workers Union announced.
Postal workers are already due to take industrial action on Thursday and Friday following a similar walkout last month, in one of Britain's biggest strikes this summer.
'We have today called a further two days (of strike action) on 30th September and 1st October over attacks on terms and conditions,' the Communication Workers Union (CWU) said on Twitter.

CWU general secretary Dave Ward (pictured on the picket line) said 'Postal workers won't meekly accept their living standards being hammered by greedy business leaders who are completely out of touch with modern Britain'

Royal Mail, which has said its business is losing £1million a day, said on Wednesday strike action had weakened its financial position. The CWU had turned down a request to call off this week's strikes, it added.
'The CWU's approach is setting us on a perilous path,' it said in a statement.
'We remain ready to talk with the CWU to try and avert damaging industrial action ... But any talks must be about both change and pay. Change is the route to higher pay.'
A range of sectors, from the railways to the courts, have been hit by strikes in recent months as wages fall further behind soaring inflation that topped 10 per cent in July.
Royal Mail said it was working to minimise delays and disruptions to customers during the strikes.
