PEOPLE’S POST EVENT – BIRMINGHAM, 4th JUNE 2016
Following our hugely successful People’s Post event in Manchester, the next step on the campaign tour is Birmingham. Once again, we have secured a high profile group of local, regional and national guests, including the Leader of the Labour Party, Jeremy Corbyn.
The CWU Midlands Region has launched a major publicity initiative to ensure a high turnout from the public in Birmingham. Coaches are also being put onto bring members from the Midlands into Birmingham. It is vital the whole union supports this event. On this basis, we would request that all CWU Branches send a delegation.
Attached to this LTB are posters and graphics that can be used to publicise the day in the workplaces and on social media.
The announcement of further job cuts for our members in Supply Chain this week highlight the importance of the People’s Post campaign being successful. Birmingham offers us another chance to reach out to the public.
