As the first strikes of Royal Mail workers began this morning, the CWU announced more strikes for next week. Royal Mail officials are continuing to criticize the strikes, saying that they are disappointed that they were not called off after an agreement was reached late Tuesday after more than 80 meetings. The CWU continues to stand behind it's reasons for striking. The prime minister has urged both sides to return to the bargaining table to try reach an agreement on wages and modernization.
