Petition & Poster
The campaign petition is officially launched today and a video is available on the CWU website. Branches should circulate the petition amongst the membership as widely as possible for members to sign. A URL link to the petition is attached and can also be downloaded via the campaign webpage. A campaign poster has been designed and copies will be sent to you to promote the signing of the petition. The poster is also available to download from the website and is attached in pdf format.
In order to generate social media interest, branches are encouraged to use the poster when the branch representatives or members sign the petition and wherever possible to take a picture holding the poster so that this can then be posted on social media using the hashtag #CloseTheGap
All signed petitions should be returned to Head Office addressed to Linda Massey, CWU Head Office, 150 The Broadway, Wimbledon, London, SW19 IRX
