Workers at Royal Mail have announced further strikes in a dispute over pay and conditions.

Staff in the Communication Workers Union (CWU) are already set to walk out on Thursday and Friday this week.
They will now also strike for 48-hours on September 30 and October 1 - the latest move in a worsening dispute.
The CWU said its 115,000 members did not support an "imposed" 2% pay rise. Royal Mail says the union rejected an offer worth up to 5.5%.
CWU general secretary Dave Ward said: "There can be no doubt that postal workers are completely united in their determination to secure the dignified, proper pay rise they deserve.
"We can't keep on living in a country where bosses rake in billions in profit while their employees are forced to use food banks."
He highlighted the £400m the company had returned to shareholders in the last year, saying "our members won't accept pleads of poverty from the company".
Royal Mail's latest adjusted operating profit for the year to March was £416m, up from £344m previously, but the company says it is currently losing £1m a day.
A spokesperson from Royal Mail apologised to customers for the inconvenience and reiterated that it was now a parcels business.
"We must adapt old ways of working designed for letters," the spokesperson said.
