“Postal workers across the UK now face the fight of their lives to save their jobs and the service they provide to every household and business in the UK.A Royal Mail spokesman said: “The CWU can be in no doubt of the impact its reckless pursuit of 19 days of industrial action has on our weakened financial position and the job security of its members.
“Royal Mail is losing £1 million a day. We operate in a competitive market, and our customers have choices. Continued strike action will force our customers to make those choices sooner rather than later. Strike action is due to take place on 30 September and 1 October 2022. We'll be doing what we can to keep services running, but there will be disruption.
