The Communication Workers Union (CWU) said it has entered a "a new phase" in their dispute with Royal Mail. The Postal Executive had agreed to escalate the dispute on both industrial and political fronts, with a rolling programme of strikes that means Royal Mail will face two weeks of functional/site-specific strikes resulting in two weeks of continuous disruption to mail services.
