Members’ Conference Call – Tuesday 25th October from 7pm – 8pm

A conference call for all of our members employed by the Post Office (facilitated by a co-ordinator) will take place on Tuesday 25th October from 7pm for an hour. A question and answer session will follow an introduction by Andy Furey. The dial-in details are as follows:

We will be using all of our communication channels including social media, emails and text messaging to encourage our members employed in the Post Office to take strike action. In this regard a bulletin has been sent to members’ home addresses today emphasising why support for the strike is necessary. A further LTB will also be published in due course regarding activities designed to gain press and media coverage on the strike day.
