LONDON, England: The UK's Communication Workers Union said Post Office workers would hold a one-day strike, coinciding with a walkout by some Royal Mail staff, on 26th August.

Due to a pay dispute, some 2,000 workers, including supply chain and administrative workers, would strike in an "everyone-out" day on 26th August, it added.

On 27th and 30th August, various segments of Post Office workers will then hold further 24-hour walkouts, the union reported.
