Retirement of Terry Pullinger Deputy General Secretary (Postal)

TO ALL POSTAL BRANCHES

The purpose of this LTB is to inform you that Deputy General Secretary (Postal) Terry Pullinger has taken the decision to leave the union and prioritise his own health and his family.

I would like to place on record the appreciation of the whole union for what has been an outstanding record of service to the CWU and its predecessors over many decades. Whether it be at local or national level, Terry has served the union with great distinction. This is something he can be rightly proud of.

As Deputy General Secretary (Postal) Terry played a crucial role in leading disputes, rallying our members, and delivering national agreements. I know I can speak for all CWU members when I thank Terry for his work and commitment in one of the unions most crucial roles.

Branches will be keen for us to recognise Terry’s achievements and we will be announcing plans to do this in due course as well as ensuring he receives National Honorary Membership at a forthcoming Conference.

Any Branches or Representatives wishing to send personal messages to Terry can do this via the DGSP Department where they will be collated and forwarded.

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.

He was down as a trustee of the new CDC pension scheme. I wonder if he still intends, or is allowed to continue with that?

EDIT: He did resign as trustee.

Hi everyone I have a question for similar postmen/women who have had IHR I spoke to my DOM about IHR with a lump sum payment and he told me OH have to recommend it. I had a meeting with OH who said I won t be able to return for the foreseeable and my manager said OH had to recommend IHR and she told me they don’t do that. It’s your manager and HR ,can someone tell me what happened in there case if they have been given IHR.
