Letter Writers send solidarity to postal workers
Letter Writers will want to send solidarity to CWU postal workers after a huge 95% vote to take more action to defend our postal service on an impressive 77% turn out. Despite working all through the pandemic and helping to keep things going they have been offered a hugely below inflation pay rise. Royal Mail is also not only threatening but trying to implement worse terms and conditions.
As so often in British industry Royal Mail bosses far from taking a pay freeze or cut have paid themselves huge bonuses.
Letter writers like myself mostly use e-mail now but there is still plenty of mail in traditional form though and some of it is not easily amenable to e-mail. Posties remain a key part of the economy and deserve decent pay and conditions. They need our support in getting it and in maintaining a postal service that Royal Mail bosses want to destroy
