About 42,000 mail centre staff and drivers will walk out next Thursday (October 22) for 24 hours.
It will be followed by another 24-hour stoppage on Friday (23) by 78,000 delivery and collection staff.
The Communication Workers Union said it had made a "genuine offer" to avert a national strike and accused the Royal Mail of rejecting it without proper consideration.
