Really sad news that Fred Jepson passed away yesterday after a long illness. A former President, NEC, Postal Executive and Mt Pleasant Branch member, Fred was a lifelong trade unionist and a larger than life advocate for our members and working class people. He will always be remembered as one of the true characters of our Union and the movement. Our sincere condolences go to Cherry and the family. Rest in peace Fred.

Billy Bragg made a surprise appearance at #CWU26 general conference to remind us of the strength of the union. ✊

"If you haven't got the courage to stand against the wealthy and the powerful and redistribute wealth and power back to working people, then don't stand up and say you're going to deliver real change” @CWUnews GS @DaveWardGS with a message for Labour

Pleased to announce I have been appointed as a trade union representative on the Fair Work Agency Advisory Board. This is a vital opportunity to shape the world of work, bring back a level-playing field for decent employers and provide security and power for workers everywhere. Let’s get to work. gov.uk/government/news/fair-…

I agree with @liambyrnemp

I urge my constituents to #StandByYourPostie. @RoyalMail is failing it's staff and failing our communities and everything @DaveWardGS says here is spot on. If Royal Mail do not honour the agreements they have entered into they should be taken into public ownership.

It's like scrapping train WiFi if its broken, ignoring potholes on the roads and accepting that our seas are now filled with sewage. We can't keep accepting that going backwards is the only way - our country deserves so much better than this. #StandByYourPostie

“I can categorically deny that.” Parliament read him the receipts. Postal workers from Scotland to London all say the same thing: parcels first, letters if there’s time. @liambyrnemp: “We’re just not in a position to believe you Mr Kretinsky.” Damning.

"This is a self-inflicted problem." CWU General Secretary @davewardgs tells Parliament why Royal Mail is failing to deliver for customers and workers.

At the meeting tonight in Parliament with GS Dave Ward. Heard about the issues in depth at Royal Mail. I support my Posties in Dagenham and Rainham . #standbyyourposties

I'll be providing evidence to @CommonsBTC today. Daniel Kretinsky needs to give the government answers on why Royal Mail is failing.

A 500-year-old national institution is in meltdown. Barely three quarters of First Class letters are arriving on time, costing families and small businesses across the country. Tomorrow, Royal Mail's new owner appears before @CommonsBTC for the first time. We need answers. Watch live, Tuesday 24th March, 2.30pm: parliamentlive.tv/event/inde…

CWU Glasgow & District Amal Branch Officer Hugh Gaffney’s debut book about one of the biggest mining disasters in British history is a powerful tribute to those who ‘paid the price of coal’ – and the communities that stayed strong. cwu.org/news/putting-a-face-…

An absolute tragedy. The government must intervene and fix the broken compensation scheme before more lives are ruined. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c8eg…

We need to end the managed decline of Royal Mail.

If you need a letter delivered, you're better off delivering it by hand yourself🤯 Lauren Edwards MP calls out Royal Mail failing our communities AGAIN. Public ownership NOW.
