POSTAL workers in Oxfordshire are to stage two fresh 48-hour strikes next month over their bitter pay and jobs dispute, it was announced today.
Up to 2,000 postal workers across the county will walk out on October 5 and again on October 8, meaning the strikes are spread over four working days.
And plans have been put in place by the Communication Workers Union to introduce a rolling programme of strikes will start on October 15 and will continue every week until the row is resolved.
CWU general secretary Billy Hayes said: "We know this strike action represents a big commitment from our members.
"However, it is a proportionate repsonse to an employer that is completely out of control. Rather than running the business, Royal Mail's actions demonstrate they are intent on destroying it."
