Royal Mail workers in North Staffordshire and South Cheshire will be among more than 100,000 set to be balloted about strike action over a number of issues.
Members of the Communication Workers Union (CWU) are set to vote on taking industrial action from September 24 – with the result due in the first week of October.
The dispute has flared over issues including terms and conditions of employment and job security – the Mirror reports.
In a statement the CWU said: “In setting this timetable we clearly believe that the business, in spite of their own media campaign, are not working within the spirit and intent of our national agreements and are following their own agenda that will have long-term detrimental effects on our members’ terms and conditions of employment, job security and the future of Royal Mail Group as a whole.”
A Royal Mail spokesman said: “We are committed to open and constructive engagement with the CWU.
“We all want a successful and sustainable company that provides good quality jobs, fairness in workloads, and continues delivering.”
