More postal strikes are likely this week as workers and Royal Mail continue to clash, following last week's industrial actions.

Thousands of postal workers from around the country are planning to strike every day this week until and including Thursday.

It follows the dispute between the Communication Workers Union and Royal Mail last week over continued job cuts.

The CWU says the UK is "set for disruption" as Royal Mail employees from Bognor Regis, Newport Isle of Wight and Greater Manchester join others in a series of 24 hour strike actions over the coming week.

But Royal Mail has reported first class performance in July, and it says that the company is trying to preserve as many jobs as possible.
