TO: ALL BRANCHES



Dear Colleague



GENERAL SECRETARY – DAVE WARD



The purpose of this LTB is to update Branches on the latest situation with our General Secretary Dave Ward, who as you will be aware, has recently been off work due to illness.



I have been in regular contact with Dave and can report that he is feeling better. Dave is also happy for me to advise Branches that he has been now been diagnosed with a rare autoimmune syndrome. He is due back at the hospital next week and subject to doctors’ advice, he is hoping to return to work soon.



In the meantime, Dave has indicated that he will be getting back involved with some work issues and as seen yesterday with the Guardian article, he intends to make some interventions in the General Election campaign over the next few weeks.



Dave has asked me to pass on his sincere thanks to all those who have sent get well messages and on behalf of the union I know we would wish Dave both a speedy return to health and his role as General Secretary of the CWU.



Any enquiries on the content of this LTB please forward to gsoffice@cwu.org



Yours sincerely





Tony Kearns

Acting General Secretary
