Dear Members,
So much is going on – the continued quality of service issues locally, the takeover bid, talks on the future of the USO and much more.
Following TUC Congress, Labour Party Conference and talks with various stakeholders we wanted to give members a full and comprehensive update and crucially take your questions.
Tonight at 7:15pm we will be LIVE on our YouTube channel with General Secretary Dave Ward and Deputy General Secretary (Postal) Martin Walsh.
This is your chance to put questions to the union’s leadership. You can even put them directly live on the show. If you want to do this then please email info@cwu.org and we will get in contact to set up getting you live.
Below is the link for 7:15pm tonight. As always the show is available on catch up but we hope to see as many of you as possible live.

Bad timing really, some delivery staff will still be out there working, trying to get finished and you will also clash with the One Show for those that have finished

Finally found out what Big Dave’s big scandal as big as Horizon is!!!! It’s some bum fluff about union reps being targeted during the dispute.
THAT’S IT!

No news on USO until months after any sale in 2025.

We have to manage the decline in our members' health. The company wanted everyone dead, but the union negotiated that down to half.funkflex55 wrote: ↑03 Oct 2024, 19:44"Below is the link for 7:15pm tonight.

Quick review to save you the bother of wasting an hour of your life: it was the same old rubbish.

So if you take the YouTube video link, pass it through a free transcription tool (available online), and get the text. Example:
- 10,268 words 52,669 characters
- top two single word: "uh" and "um"
- top double words: "make sure", "quality service", "talk about", "uh know", "takeover bid", "terms conditions", "pay rise", "labour party", "um know", "bring things"
- top triple words: "bring all together", "uh quality service", "big presence both", "presence both um", "universal service obligation", "service obligation um", "uh today think", "today think yeah", "going workplace moment", "takeover bit want"
I know it is a bit rough and doesn't tell you exactly what is said. You could go further and get some AI process to summarise it. However, just looking at the word density shows it's a lot of repetition of basically "errr.." and "USO"/"takeover"/"Ts&Cs" etc. Sounds like a lot of nothing new was said.
Then pass it through a free word counter and just glance at the word density you get a quick summary...welcome back to CWU live for a royal mail members special uh a lot has
happened since the last time we broad from this studio there's been the TU conference and the labor party
conference and the CWU of course had a big Presence at both um and there are a
lot of updates to talk through when it comes to the Royal Mail um takeover
talks are still in process...

Absolutely nothing new was said. They are completely oblivious to the level of dissatisfaction in them because they don’t listen.Basildon Bond wrote: ↑04 Oct 2024, 09:03So if you take the YouTube video link, pass it through a free transcription tool (available online), and get the text. Example:
