The UK's postal services could be disrupted by further strikes this week, it has been revealed.

More postal services could be affected by a fresh wave of strikes taking place across this week, the Communication Workers Union (CWU) has revealed.

People across the UK may be forced to seek post office alternatives due to the strikes, which are taking place in areas including Bognor Regis, Greater Manchester, Bristol and Cambridge and follow on from last week's industrial action.

According to Dave Ward, the deputy general secretary of the CWU, Royal Mail needs to acknowledge the "big breakdown in trust between staff and management".

"We welcome the planned meetings with Royal Mail next week, however until there is a material difference for our members we will not be in a position to call off strike action," he added.

Last week, the CWU claimed that Royal Mail's business approach was best described as "chaos management".
