Got a question for a CWU Rep? And all CWU related matters.

Does a percentage of your subs go to the Labour Party ? I’m sure I heard this mentioned and you can cancel that part of it? Or am I totally off the mark lol

The Political levy and our Political Fund

Under trade union law, our political work is funded through a separate levy to our membership subscription. This political levy is 20 pence per week and goes into a designated political fund which is administered by the union’s Political Fund Management Committee.

The levy is optional – if you want to opt in or opt out of paying it please contact politics@cwu.org and include your postal address or membership number.

Branches and Regions both receive a share of the levy to fund their political work on our key priorities. Please contact them to find out more about the union’s political work in your area.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.
