CWU RETIRED MEMBERS RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION
Branches will be aware that LTB 009/23 dated 9th January 2023 explained how the Retired Members Committee (RMC) and Retired Regional Leads (RRL) were considering the issues of recruitment to retired membership within the union.
The main concern of the RMC as well as the RRL is that the size of this group of members continues to decline and highlighted how important it is that we strengthen this section of our membership.
It is essential that work continues to ensure that ongoing recruitment remains a high priority for the union.
In order to help branches with recruiting retired members attached is a leaflet titled ‘Retiring soon? What are your plans?’ The leaflet sets out the benefits, reasons and the value of staying on as, or joining the CWU as a retired member and we would encourage branches to share this with their members.
Any enquiries regarding this Letter to Branches should be addressed to the Senior Deputy General Secretary’s Department on telephone number 020 8971 7237, or email address sdgs@cwu.org.
Yours sincerely,
Tony Kearns
Senior Deputy General Secretary
CWU Eastern No5 Branch
