“Stop it You’re Killing Us” Post Card to Prime Minister Theresa May Campaign:


To: All Branches

Dear Colleagues,

Further to LTB 475/2016 entitled “EU Referendum Result - Where are We Now on Health and
Safety Laws and the Future of the UK Health and Safety System Post British Exit of the EU” on the dangers to health and safety laws, standards, controls and protections for workers in the UK, The ‘Hazards Campaign’ launched the “Stop it you’re killing us” Post Card to Prime Minister
Theresa May campaign at the recent 2016 Hazards Conference and all Trade Unions have been asked to promote the campaign by asking people to send a postcard to the Prime Minister.

The CWU Health, Safety & Environment department has agreed to set the Union a target of getting 1000 Postcards sent to No 10 Downing Street and these are being distributed with 100 Postcards each to the 10 Regional Health and Safety Forums, requesting that all Safety Reps throughout the Country obtain a number of the Postcards from the Regional H&S Forum Secretary, send off a Postcard and get other Reps, Officers and Members in their Branches to complete and post off the Cards also.

Hazards tell us that so far they have sent out 4,000 Postcards – CWU has now made that 5,000 but we need Reps to respond and action the request, supporting the campaign.

The Postcards (copy attached) read as follows:-

----------------------------------------------------
“Dear Prime Minister

We warmly welcome your determination
to tackle inequalities across society.

One of the most damaging inequalities is
in occupational health and safety, which
contributes greatly to the mortality and
morbidity gulf between rich and poor.

Effective regulation and strict enforcement
of safety laws saves lives. Please do not
neglect them.

Use ‘Brexit’ to improve not erode health
and safety protection for all workers.”

---------------------------------------------------

Please tell Prime Minister Theresa May to 'Stop it, you're killing us', it is a crime to neglect safety at work’ by sending her the Postcard

Thank you for your support.

Those Reps or Branches wishing to obtain their own supply of Postcards can get them from the following:-
