- Around 115,000 CWU members are due to vote; ballots will be sent June 28 after they rejected a 2% pay award.

- The dispute covers pay, working conditions and job security; inflation is 9% and forecast to exceed 11% in October.
- Royal Mail said there were no grounds for industrial action and cited an offer worth up to 5.5%, rejected by the CWU.
