Retired Members
The CWU now has just under 18,000 retired members. The advisory committee objectives are to promote the interests of all retired members and to campaign on matters that are relevant such as Pensions, Healthcare and Mobility.
The policy of the committee is to encourage every CWU Branch to establish a Retired Members Section. If you are retiring soon you can retain your CWU membership at a greatly reduced subscription rate.
Contact your local Branch Secretary for details, the phone number is on your CWU membership card.The Committee continues to build links with the National Pensioners Convention – the campaigning body with regions throughout the United Kingdom.
Tony Kearns, Senior Deputy General Secretary is the officer responsible for the committee. Tony can be contacted at SDGS@cwu.org
