The USO reform has been piloted at offices all around the UK.
Royal Mail and the CWU have a disagreement over what method should be used. The CWU believes that the company’s chosen method, Optimised Delivery Model (ODM), does not work.
Members at the USO pilot offices have been meeting to have their say on the matter this week...

🚨BREAKING: Employment Rights Bill passes in the House of Lords and will become law.
This is an historic day for working people across the country, and the trade unions who represent them.
Some of the watershed measures this Bill delivers:
➡️ Banning exploitative zero hours contracts
➡️ Sick pay for all from day one
➡️ Expanding paternity, parental and bereavement leave
➡️ Strengthening protections for pregnant women, whistle-blowers and victims of sexual harassment
➡️ Making flexible working the default
➡️ Repealing Tory anti-union laws
Unions and workers have long campaigned for these vital rights.
Finally, working people will enjoy more security, better pay and dignity at work thanks to this Bill.

Postal workers have grafted all year round to get mail to customers and businesses across the UK - often under huge pressure.
Their reward from bosses? 2nd class stamps.
https://t.co/l2VvpcmEVd
Every year as recognition of the work undertaken by Postal Workers across the UK, they are given Christmas stamps by Royal Mail.
This year, for the first time those stamps are second class.
If ever there was a message that summed up how they feel about our members this is it.
📮 Making Postal Work Great Again
We need a world of work where workers no longer hear “this used to be a great job” but instead can proudly say “this job is great again.

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 was also a great advocate for our retired members. A thoroughly decent man who was highly respected throughout the CWU. On behalf of the whole union we offer our sincere condolences to his family.
RIP Des. You will always be part of the union.
