Are CWU really interested in protecting ALL members?

Post by bigbluebear »

Due to the proposed closing of Mail Centre's on sunday nights from the end of Deceember there has been a lot of questions being asked about what is happening. It seems that the CWU has reached an agreement in Glasgow which is not in the interest of all its members but only sets out to protect the "built in overtime" of full-timers. They are happy to take our subs but not so happy to protect our interests. Weekend workers are being left at the mercy of the RM management to be offered shyty duties and work times.

Maybe all part time workers should use our votes in the upcoming CWU election to remove those responsible for this outrage.

it would be exactly what RM want too . RM brought these AG's in years ago to dilute the old hand unionised culture .
