It will cover the Christmas build-up, including key shopping days Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
Royal Mail workers are to hold 19 days of strike action over pay and terms and conditions during the peak postal build-up to Christmas.It said its "significant announcement" reflects the "level of anger" workers feel.
Strike action has been called for 24 hours from 04:00 on various days starting on Thursday 13 October, taking in Black Friday week and Cyber Monday.Different teams and combinations of teams will strike on other dates, but that will have a knock-on effect on all deliveries on those dates, the CWU spokesman said.
"Postal workers across the UK now face the fight of their lives to save their jobs and the service they provide to every household and business in the UK.A spokesman for CWU said Royal Mail's management was trying to "casualise" the postal service.But a Royal Mail spokesperson said: "Royal Mail is losing £1m a day and must change faster in response to changing customer demands.
"Rather than responding to our offer of Acas talks, the CWU announced further damaging industrial action, once again taking the path of prolonging disruption over resolution," the spokesperson said, adding that CWU should "engage urgently on the changes required".
