ROYAL MAIL PARLIAMENTARY DEVELOPMENTS – THE VOICE OF POSTAL WORKERS MUST BE HEARD
Further to LTB 057/26 sent on 27thFebruary 2026, we are now in a position to provide branches and representatives with a copy of an email that has gone to our members today regarding the forthcoming Royal Mail Select Committee hearing on 24th March 2026.
As previously explained, you will see that the email includes engagement activities that we are asking our members to undertake so that what’s really happening in the workplace on customer service failures is understood by all politicians.
One activity we are asking members to undertake is to email a factsheet, with key information and specific action requests, to their MP. They can do this easily via this link. Please encourage all members to take two minutes to email their MP, so we can keep up the pressure.
We are also asking reps to write to the Business and Trade Select Committee ahead of the 24th, with their experiences of being a frontline postal worker and what is really happening at Royal Mail. The Chair of the Committee, Liam Byrne, can be reached at commonsbtc@parliament.uk.
It is now essential that all CWU branches and representatives support this membership engagement activity and hold meetings with our members next week to maximise participation.
This is a crucial moment and the voices of postal workers must be heard. In this regard, you will see that our key messages also focus on the wider problems that our members are facing as a result of a toxic managerial culture and the failure of the company to move forward the rebuilding Royal Mail agreements.
Finally, we will provide branches and representatives with an update on talks next week and further information on this will be sent out on Monday.
Yours sincerely
Dave Ward
General Secretary
Martin Walsh
Deputy General Secretary (Postal)
