CWU - EDB Branch

Final written round-up of TUC Congress 2025! Our highlights from the last day 👇 cwu.org/news/tuc-2025-…

The CWU are calling for reform of the TUC including more democracy at every single level of our movement. Tomorrow at 17:45 we host a crucial joint fringe with @RMTunion which we want packed out. Speakers include: @DaveWardGS Eddie Dempsey @DrJoGrady #TUC25

Christmas pay update for Royal Mail Group monthly paid staff. Earlier this week we were made aware Royal Mail Group had issued communications stating that Monthly Paid employees and all grades in Royal Mail, Parcelforce and RMPFSL would see a change in the December pay date for 2024 from before Christmas to 31st December 2024. Royal Mail also wrongly stated this move had been made in consultation with the CWU. This was not the case. It is true that some members were comfortable with this change given it shortens the gap between December and January salaries but we know many of you will have budgeted your Christmas arrangements already. Following strong interventions from the union the following has been agreed: For monthly paid staff the cut off date for overtime payments to be included in December salaries has been moved from 8th December to 15th December. All staff who want some or all of their December salaries paid on the 24th will now have the right to request this. We are working with the company on the exact details of the process and will communicate with you again once it is resolved. Whilst we are disappointed that an intervention was required, we are pleased that we have been able to ensure no monthly paid member will be negatively impacted by this change and we now have concrete solutions in place. We ask that this update is shared with all your monthly paid colleagues. Martin Walsh Deputy General Secretary (Postal)

4.2 million children are living in poverty in the UK, according to @EndChildPoverty. When children are hungry, they can't learn in school. Will you join me in urging @RishiSunak to extend #FreeSchoolMealsforAll?➡️ freeschoolmealsforall.org.uk/take-action?so… @NoChildBehindUK #CostofLivingCrisis

The @CWUnews are fighting against @BTgroup’s awful decision to cut 100 jobs in the rural community of Alness. Today @RhodaGrant secured commitment from the First Minister that the Scottish Government will engage with the campaign and support efforts to force BT to stop the cuts.

I'm so disappointed with BT, their treatment of their loyal staff is abysmal. This decision will rock the whole community.

.@bt_uk think they can cut vital jobs in Alness, but the CWU are fighting to save them. Great stuff from @cwu_scotland.

Alness and the surrounding area will suffer huge economic damage if the BT site closes bbc.com/news/uk-scotla…
