The government has agreed to meet the CWU and Royal Mail's owners on 3rd November. When this happens, we'll be calling for the government to support a new direction for the company, which will require: •⁠ An ambitious growth strategy that utilises Royal Mail's infrastructure to embed our postal workers at the heart of the community and the economy; • ⁠⁠A new ownership model which gives greater accountability to the public; •⁠ ⁠Workers and the government taking a greater stake in Royal Mail; •⁠ ⁠Ending the 'race to the bottom' culture in the wider postal and logistics sector. We asked the government to crack down on bogus self-employment, and they listened. This is a good start, and we will continue fighting to improve the lives of our members and the quality of their industry.

"We should not be shy in coming forward to say that the privatisation of the Royal Mail and its separation from the Post Office was a mistake.” - @darrenpjones More and more voices are saying it.

Royal Mail's continued failure to accept reality has damaged services, demoralised workers, and let down the country. Postal workers and communities need government intervention to save this vital public service.

How much worse do things have to get before the Government steps in to save our Royal Mail?

We cannot carry on like this. The Government and company need to work with the CWU on a plan to save this vital national service.

For too long, bogus self-employment has allowed companies to drive down labour costs, shift risks onto workers and deny them decent pay and proper protections. It also allows parcel operators to undercut Royal Mail and companies that directly employ their staff, creating an unfair playing field that rewards bad employers. The government's consultation published today is an important step forward in a campaign the CWU has fought for years and welcome news for thousands of workers who deserve better. We will press the government to introduce robust, non-negotiable rules that close loopholes, protect workers’ rights and create a level playing field across the world of work.

We are urgently calling for formal talks between the union, company management and the government to identify a way forward for Royal Mail, we need to rescue the company from serious crisis.

BT wants to throw hundreds of Liverpool workers on the scrapheap. We won't let it happen quietly. Today we took our fight outside Labour party conference with a clear message: get around the table and reverse this decision.

Royal Mail can afford to give our cleaners an extra 7p per hour and can afford fair pensions for all. Vote YES and YES on the campaign and share this video ✊

Politicians and CWU members from across Liverpool voice their concerns about BT's plans to relocate 600 jobs away from Merseyside.
