MR PAUL MALONEY BRANCH CHAIR BIRMINGHAM DISTRICT AMAL

MR  PAUL MALONEY BRANCH CHAIR BIRMINGHAM DISTRICT AMAL
 

I writing to inform branches that Paul Maloney, Chair of the Birmingham Amal Branch, and his wife Jackie were recently involved in an extremely violent assault which has left both with serious multiple injuries. Paul is in an induced coma and is fighting for his life.

 

Many colleagues, particularly those in the Midlands will know just how well liked and respected Paul is as a senior representative, friend and work colleague. I know that this tragic series of events has shocked everyone who knows Paul and this has naturally caused a great deal of upset for many of our representatives.

 

The Branch Secretary Steve Reid has asked me to convey his thanks to all those individuals who have contacted him over the last week with messages of support and offers of help to Paul’s family and dependants.

 

Branches have asked if they can offer some financial support to help them during this terrible time and we are advised that if any branch or individual would wish to make any kind donation of this nature they can make cheques payable to the Birmingham District Amal Branch, care of Steve Reid, Branch Secretary, CWU Office, 47 Summer Lane Hockley, Birmingham B19 3TH.

 

Our thoughts are with Paul, Jackie and the family and we all desperately hope that in the coming days their present condition improves.

 

If you have any enquiries on this LTB, these should be addressed to the General Secretary’s Office at gsoffice@cwu.org quoting the reference GS1.1/LTB 585/15.

 

Yours sincerely
