"We should not be shy in coming forward to say that the privatisation of the Royal Mail and its separation from the Post Office was a mistake.” - @darrenpjones More and more voices are saying it.

Royal Mail's continued failure to accept reality has damaged services, demoralised workers, and let down the country. Postal workers and communities need government intervention to save this vital public service.

How much worse do things have to get before the Government steps in to save our Royal Mail?

Thanks to the 250 plus members and colleagues from Darlington, Gosforth, and North Tyneside who took part in our branch action for @SRTRC_England Wear Red Day, yesterday. This is only a fraction of the pictures we got. @CWUnews @CWUNEregion #WRD26 #CWUandProud

We cannot carry on like this. The Government and company need to work with the CWU on a plan to save this vital national service.

The BBC have shone a light on the harsh pressure postal workers are facing, and the price paid by consumers for the historic mismanagement of Royal Mail. The company has been in structural decline for well over a decade, and the continuous failure to deliver quality of service is killing the brand, demoralising the workforce, and letting down the communities that postal workers are proud to serve.

For too long, bogus self-employment has allowed companies to drive down labour costs, shift risks onto workers and deny them decent pay and proper protections. It also allows parcel operators to undercut Royal Mail and companies that directly employ their staff, creating an unfair playing field that rewards bad employers. The government's consultation published today is an important step forward in a campaign the CWU has fought for years and welcome news for thousands of workers who deserve better. We will press the government to introduce robust, non-negotiable rules that close loopholes, protect workers’ rights and create a level playing field across the world of work.

At this stage, it doesn't matter what delivery model is adopted: unless the company faces up to its self-inflicted recruitment and retention crisis, it is on the brink of collapse. For years, we have had select committees, promises of £500 million improvement plans, a broad array of agreements and threats to improve from Ofcom. Royal Mail is in serious need of a business vision that provides dignified work for employees and quality service for consumers and communities.

BT wants to throw hundreds of Liverpool workers on the scrapheap. We won't let it happen quietly. Today we took our fight outside Labour party conference with a clear message: get around the table and reverse this decision.

Royal Mail can afford to give our cleaners an extra 7p per hour and can afford fair pensions for all. Vote YES and YES on the campaign and share this video ✊

BT's proposal to move 600 jobs out of Liverpool is a major blow to our city. These roles provide essential strategic support across the North West. At PMQs, I called on the Prime Minister to support Liverpool's workforce & urge BT to reconsider these plans. @CWUnews

Yesterday, I joined @CWUnews outside The Plaza to demonstrate against @BT_UK plans to cut 600 jobs from the site. Their proposals are short-sighted and misguided. Myself @metromayorsteve and @KimJohnsonMP have already held two meetings with BT to push back against their plans.
