Scotland's posties are set to join the summer of strikes after Royal Mail workers overwhelmingly backed industrial action.
General secretary Dave Ward said there will now be a “small window” of opportunity for talks to avoid the walkouts.
"While bosses rake in £758m in profit and shareholders take £400m, workers are expected to take a serious real-terms pay cut," he added. They added:"We offered a deal worth up to 5.5% for CWU grade colleagues, the biggest increase we have offered for many years, which the CWU rejected. "Ensuring we can change, at pace, is the route to protecting well-paid, permanent, jobs long term and retain our place as the industry leader on pay and terms and conditions.“In the event of industrial action, we have contingency plans to minimise customer disruption and will work to keep people, businesses and the country connected.”
