The whole union is shocked and saddened to hear of the passing of Richard Isdell. Richard represented the members at Sheffield Mail Centre for decades and he did so with skill, strength and ability. He was also an industrial engineer, one of the unions most vocal supporters

At their annual Retired Members Conference yesterday, CWU members came together to call for a "New Deal for Pensioners" pushing for action to protect the triple lock, tackle rising bills, and end political attacks on older people. Catch up on all the key debates and decisions

Let’s call this out for what it is. Blacklisting. Victimisation. Everyone has the right to join a union, take industrial action and stand on a picket line.
🤯 You won't believe what this agency manager tells workers emptying bins in Birmingham! 😡 Have senior managers at a @UKLabour council really said they won't employ anyone who joins a picket line? Isn't that called #Blacklisting ? Shouldn't Labour-run @BhamCityCouncil be against

Meeting the CWU London Divisional Committee with @LucyMPowell Lucy made an excellent contribution and was very well received by our senior reps. Ballot papers for the Labour Party Deputy Leader land via email from today. The CWU NEC recommends members vote for Lucy Powell.

Very sad news to hear that Des Carney passed away on Saturday. Des was one of the true characters in the history of our union, a rep who always stood up for our members and was never afraid to speak out for what he believed in - union through and through In his later life Des

The CWU National Executive met today and unanimously agreed to nominate Lucy Powell for the role of Deputy Leader of the Labour Party. We put questions to both candidates and Lucy’s responses were by far the most in depth and showed a commitment to work openly with trade unions.

Today the CWU are tabling a motion on reform of the TUC. Injecting much needed democracy and accountability into our movement. Let’s have the debate. https://t.co/yxVtCTG7rW

To undercut the far-right and strengthen the power of workers, we need to urgently deepen the purpose of the Trades Union Congress through real democratic reform.
