Post Office workers are to stage five days of strikes in the week leading up to Christmas.
The industrial action next week comes amid a dispute with management over job losses, the closure of a final salary pension scheme and branches being shut.
The Communication Workers Union (CWU) said the walkout will include Christmas Eve.
CWU assistant secretary Andy Furey said: "All of the blame for this unfortunate turn of events is 100% down to the intransigence of the company."
He claimed the Post Office had "launched an unprecedented attack on the jobs, job security, and pensions of
thousands of hard-working and loyal Post Office workers".
Mr Furey added: "The CWU can be a constructive partner to work with, but sadly, the people currently running the company have, so far, chosen the path of conflict and industrial disputes."

Disgraceful decision...and will win no sympathy from the public.
