Keep The Post Public‏

The UK postal service is under threat for the third time in a decade and the CWU is building a broad based keep The Post Public Coalition http://www.cwu.org/keep-the-post-public.html Throughout its long history, Royal Mail has provided a vital public service to isolated rural and urban communities alike across the length and breadth of the country, providing a unique one-price-goes-anywhere daily service.

The CWU is convinced that privatisation will lead to widespread closure of Post Offices, jeopardise the uniform tariff and universal service for letters and lead to a deterioration of services, particularly for small businesses, domestic customers, vulnerable groups and communities.

Support the campaign to keep the post public by;

- signing the CWU petition (download here)
- writing to your MP, telling them you oppose privatising Royal Mail here (http://www.writetothem.com/ )
- sending a postcard to your local MP (download here)
