There will be two 48-hour strikes, from lunchtime on 4 October to lunchtime
on Saturday 6 October, and from the early hours of Monday 8 October 4  to
the early hours of Wednesday 10 October.

This will be followed by an unspecified programme of weekly strikes,
starting 15 October until the resolution of the dispute.

This action will severely limit our ability to provide any services for the
coming period. Customers should expect severe disruption to all postal
services during the strikes and for a significant period afterwards.

Special Delivery will continue to be a priority throughout the period
of disruption. Guarantees will be suspended from 4 October until we
are sure we can fulfil the service promise.
Door to Door - we will not be able to maintain a Door-to-Door
service.

Redirection, Keepsafe and Diversion - our advertised standard for
setting up these services is likely to be affected by the industrial
action, and so our customers should expect delays.

Redelivery will be suspended during the initial industrial action and
will be reinstated as soon as we are sure we can fulfil the service
promise. Customers collecting items should be aware that enquiry
office opening times may vary from normal, and some may be closed on
strike days.

Access mail - we will not give access mail special priority during
strikes and period of recovery. We will deal with mail in the order
we receive it, regardless of whether it has come directly from our
customers, or from a supplier of Downstream Access.
