Try reading the CWU's website and all should be revealed, I agree for a Communication Workers Union, comms with the members could be better, but like I said it has been the top story in the news all this week!

We have attached National Guidelines for the Planned Industrial Action to further clarify the initial action scheduled which should assist Branches/Representatives with any enquiries they receive.

Your best bet, would be to phone your Branch. They'll be able to give you written confirmation of the Strike. You can get the number from here: http://www.cwu.org/cwu-branches.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Just click on the map, and select your Branch.

Hi royalwud, didn't you get any ballot papers, what about your notice board, have you check that? as for the strike mate, we have notices on our board, we also had meetings with our union rep, I can assure you there will be a national strike,if I were you i called your union area rep,as it clearly not satifactory that you or anyone of your colleagues are not aware of what is going on.
