Let's talk about the weather - CWU Live at 5pm today

Post by ted_e_bear »

Yes it's this week's CWU live session, let's discuss the weather.


Hi everyone,

As the weather changes, our members continue working in all conditions. Every single day.

Join us at 5pm today for this week’s episode of CWU Live. We’ll be joined by CWU Health & Safety Policy Assistant, Jamie McGovern, to discuss how shifting weather patterns affect the jobs our outdoor workers do. Postal workers. Telecoms engineers. Any of our members who spend their day outside.

We’ll cover the practical challenges, the support in place from the union, and what more can be done to make sure members stay safe and protected throughout the year.

Watch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MS1qLwPXSJ0

Tune in, and be part of the conversation.

See you at 5pm.

The CWU

One of the full time release area reps will probably appear at your DO soon to hand out cwu merch such as diaries or hats, usually December, last year one of the lads "jokingly" said f**k me that's an expensive pen :chuckle

Do it through the App - ask a question, find voluntary deductions from salary and they do it same month

Either contact payroll and stop the wage deduction or simply cancel your direct debit. Unite will happily take you as a member and apart from the collective bargaining matters you'll get a better service. The way the CWU deals with collective bargaining matters is so exclusive you wont notice the difference. They don't listen to the members anyway so it's no loss.
