Managers at Royal Mail will go on strike later this month in a dispute over job cuts and pay, the Unite trade union has said.
Unite warned that this would immediately impact the postal and parcel service across the country.
Some 2,400 managers will take industrial action from 20 July to 22 July. They will also work to rule from 15 July and 22 July.
Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said: “This business is awash with cash but it is putting profits and dividends for the few at the top ahead of its duties as a public service.”
