THE local branch of the Communication Workers Union has said it will not support MPs who have backed the part-privatisation of Royal Mail.

The union, which represents postal workers across the country, has thanked those MPs, such as Bolton North East’s David Crausby, for openly opposing the Government’s plans to sell off part of Royal Mail.

But Carl Webb, North West regional secretary, said: “Our members would never forgive us if we assisted any Labour MP who has betrayed them and the electorate by supporting the part-privatisation of Royal Mail, which will lead to massive job losses and reduced services within the North West.

“We will be producing a list of those North West Labour MPs who we are not supporting, and we have not ruled out campaigning in their constituency.”
