CWU nominates Jeremy Corbyn for Labour leadership

The Communication Workers Union has today (Monday) nominated Jeremy Corbyn in the Labour leadership election.

Dave Ward, CWU general secretary, said: “We are announcing today the CWU’s support for Jeremy Corbyn and confirming that we are nominating him for the Labour leadership.

“We need a fundamental change in Labour politics and Jeremy Corbyn recognises this. He is the candidate to drive through the change that ordinary people are crying out for – opposing damaging austerity measures and tackling the housing crisis which is causing misery for so many.

“It’s policies like Jeremy’s announcement on extending the recognition for trade unions which we believe will make a real difference to the working lives of millions. Jeremy is a leader for the millions, not the millionaires, and the CWU is proud to support him.”

CWU has 190,000 members working in post, telecoms and financial services companies.
