CWU union reps are meeting this week for a national briefing in a climate of continued attacks on the postal service and the conditions of its workers.
CWU union reps have reacted with outrage to the decision by Royal Mail to shut ten mail centres and axe thousands of postal worker jobs across Britain.
Over 300 postal workers and their supporters marched in Bristol on Monday in support of the "Bristol 3" – CWU union members who were sacked after last year’s national strike.
CWU’s national conference passed a motion that prepared the ground for a national fight over pensions, office closures and the threat of privatisation.
More than 40 protesters gathered outside the offices of Pell & Bales in central London on Tuesday last week to give noisy support to CWU union activist Pat Carmody.
Shortly after Socialist Worker went to press this week, the CWU union announced that activist Pat Carmody had been reinstated in his job at Pell & Bales call centre. The CWU announcement is copied below.
The postal workers’ CWU union has signalled its intention to fight against attacks on its activists by calling a demonstration in Bristol, where three workers have been unfairly sacked for alleged incidents during last year’s national dispute.
Activists in the postal workers’ CWU union are disturbed by the growing number of activists who have been sacked or who face serious disciplinary charges for the "crime"of being good trade unionists.
