Save Our Royal Mail Campaign

Dear Colleague

‘SAVE OUR ROYAL MAIL’ CAMPAIGN

In support of the ‘Save our Royal Mail’ Coalition, the CWU will undertake our own activities to raise the campaign profile amongst politicians and the public.

Targeting MP’s – All CWU members will soon receive a letter to their home addresses seeking their active support to write letters and send postcards to their local MP’s (appropriate materials will be included in the letter). Similarly, the letter will direct members to how they can support the social media activities of the ‘Save our Royal Mail’ Campaign. Campaign Activities 6th to 14th July – This period has been designated for intense campaigning to be actively supported by CWU representatives and members. This will include:-

* The hiring of an open top bus throughout the week commencing 8th July, to be utilised on a circular route between parliament, BIS, Royal Mail Headquarters and Ofcom Headquarters. The bus will be decked out with appropriate campaign slogans and images and with suitable sound effects to create attention.

* The leafleting of mainline stations across the country alongside planned regional/local events to ensure a national profile.

* Suitable advertisements will be taken out in national papers and on strategically placed billboards.

* Local Branches will be asked to set up stalls outside main supermarkets etc.

Full plans are being drawn up in conjunction with the Communications Department and suitable materials will be distributed in due course.

Door to Door Drop – The ‘Save our Royal Mail’ Coalition is also assessing a report on the viability of a targeted door to door drop.

Please convey the content of this LTB to all workplaces. Further information will follow in due course. Any enquiries on the above LTB should be addressed to the DGS (P) Department.
