Royal Mail has said it is planning to axe up to 6,000 jobs as a result of heavy financial losses, which the company blamed partly on the ongoing industrial action.

The company has been involved in a long-running dispute over pay and conditions with the Communication Workers Union (CWU), which has organised a series of strike actions.
