The CWU let's it's members do whatever they want despite knowing full well what that means when things go wrong. So yeah, the CWU is to blame.
What sort of discipline would the rank and file committees impose upon us?
I’d forgotten about them. Hope they’re ok

It was a mistake.
You prioritised the special by keeping it seperate ( although they should be kept completely seperate from your general mail - you messed up a bit here)
You tried your best to rectify your mistake, then you immediately owned up to it.
You didn't, from what you've said, seriously disregard the security of mail procedure or anything else.
Mistakes happen, occasionaly even with specials. You'll be fine.

Don’t stress it too much. Must have happened 100’s of times before, your certainly not the 1st.

Are you basing that on the tracking?
There's always the chance that it was mis-delivered or dropped and someone has found it and posted it through the customers door.
