CWU Safety Co-ordinator John Southwell & Rik Farnworth attended 'Asbestos and the Law' conference at The Liner Hotel, Liverpool.
It was a valuable day of insight, shared expertise and important discussion around health, safety and justice for those affected by asbestos exposure.

CWU T&FS (Telecoms & Financial Services) are not against AI, we’re for fair, transparent and human-first AI.
Here is what we’re fighting for.
This isn’t just tech talk. It’s your future at work.

🧠 It’s AI Awareness Week @ CWU T&FS (Telecoms & Financial Services).
From how your data’s used, to how decisions are made — AI is already reshaping roles in Royal Mail, BT, Openreach, financial services and beyond.
But who’s making the rules?

[CWU Lancs and Cumbria Branch @cwulancscumbria]

🤖 AI is changing how we work, from call centres to field operations & everything in between.
But AI shouldn’t be something that happens to us. It should be shaped with us.
This AI Awareness Week, we’re calling for workers, fair benefits & safety at the heart of every decision.

[CWU Lancs and Cumbria Branch @cwulancscumbria]

Our Health & Safety Co-ordinator John Southwell recently attended a powerful seminar at @OfficialUoM on AI, cybernetics & the future of human-machine teaming. A vital conversation as we navigate digital change in the world of work. #CWU #DigitalFutures #FutureOfWork

[CWU Lancs and Cumbria Branch @cwulancscumbria]

You might not think much about workplace safety until something goes wrong.
International Workers’ Memorial Day is our moment to stop, remember & demand better.
We’re here to protect the rights & lives of every young postie, engineer, call centre worker or apprentice.

[CWU Lancs and Cumbria Branch @cwulancscumbria]

IWMD is about more than looking back. It’s a promise to keep pushing forward — for safe workplaces, fair conditions and a voice for every worker.
