Dear Colleagues,

Royal Mail Group Special National Briefing & Postal Policy Forum – Wednesday 21st & Thursday 22nd May 2025

We are pleased to advise you that the business has agreed paid release for delegates attending the above event.

We would also like to take this opportunity to kindly remind colleagues (as reported in LTB 54/25) that due to space constraints at the venue we are unfortunately unable to accommodate visitors on this occasion. Branches are asked to ensure they complete and return their registration forms via email to eventsregistration@cwu.org by no later than 17th April 2025.

Finally, to ensure that all attendees are able to fully engage in the discussion over the 2 days, any Branches that require a signer to be present are asked to inform the DGS(P) department as soon as possible so that the appropriate arrangements can be put in place.

Any enquiries in relation to the content of this LTB should be referred to the DGS(P) department hford@cwu.org.

Yours sincerely,



Martin Walsh
Deputy General Secretary (Postal)

Mick Kavanagh
Postal Executive Chair

We don't all live nearby and some of us have jobs to do. But you run along and pretend you are doing something.
Trump is burning down the Reichstag and you want to picket a CWU meeting?

The Reichstag is burning? Are you sure about that?

Without the knowledge of your history you cannot determine your destiny.

The business can find money to pay for union meeting?

There's clearly a conflict of interest, when the CWU are dependent on Royal Mail for handouts.

Maybe so, but it's clearly a financial bung to the union. That if they removed it the union would have to find the cash elsewhere, so RM hold the cards.

Yes I seem to recall Simon Thompson banding about a figure of £13million (correct me if I'm wrong) that gets paid out to the CWU in the form of paid release etc, that they threatened to remove.
