FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Responding to the Royal Mail’s provocative actions today (Thursday 22^nd September), CWU General Secretary Dave Ward said: “Royal Mail management has tried to blindside the CWU to directly inform employees that their job security, working standards and union representation is under imminent threat.

“It couldn’t be more obvious to thousands of workers that this represents a new step in a plan to turn Royal Mail into something more like Uber.

“But this country’s postal workers are made of stronger stuff than the people currently running Royal Mail.

“They won’t accept such an historic institution being turned into a gig economy employer.

“They won’t be cowed into submission and will continue fighting to defend decent jobs and British industry.”

More information will be offered on a livestream held on the CWU’s Facebook account at 5pm tonight.
