Residents urged to 'post early' amid UK industrial action

19 more days of planned strikes by CWU Royal Mail workers

Residents are being urged to send post in advance amid disruption to UK postal services over the next few months.

Strikes are taking place across the Royal Mail network on three days this month, on eleven days in November and on 1 and 2 December.

Isle of Man Post Office and its workers are not involved in the industrial action.

But post office chief executive, Simon Kneen, says disruption across can have a knock-on effect:

The current dates - which are subject to change - for strike action in the UK are as follows:

October: 13 October, 20 October, 25 October

November: 2 November, 3 November, 4 November, 8 November, 9 November, 10 November, 14 November, 15 November, 16 November, 23 November, 24 November

December: 1 December, 2 December
