Dear Colleague
Further Government Announcement on Royal Mail Privatisation
The Government has announced late this afternoon that 15% of the shares in Royal Mail (half of its remaining stake) has been placed with a number of city institutions to be sold to institutional investors. The process will take place overnight and this is clearly a further demonstration of its total disregard for a public voice in the company.
It brings to the fore the very real threat to the continuation of daily delivery services and the Universal Service Obligation in the UK.
Furthermore, the haste in which this has been carried out clearly denies any debate or scrutiny of the government’s proposals.
In response the union has made it clear that public or private the CWU is going nowhere and prospective institutional investors should know that we will defend our members’ terms and conditions by all means necessary.
These events strengthen our determination to campaign for stronger legislation to protect daily deliveries and the universal service. Our approach to this will be discussed in full at the Briefing on the 19th June.
Please circulate this email as widely as possible and ensure the contents are conveyed in the workplace.
Yours sincerely
Dave Ward
General Secretary

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.
