GRENFELL SECOND ANNIVERSARY EVENTS – 14AND 15 JUNE 2019

GRENFELL SECOND ANNIVERSARY EVENTS – 14THAND 15TH JUNE 2019

As branches will be aware, 14th June 2019 marks the second anniversary of the Grenfell Tower fire in which 72 people lost their lives. The purpose of this LTB is to notify branches of two events taking place to mark this.

Firstly, on 14th June there will be a silent walk in North Kensington from Notting Hill Methodist Church, Lancaster Road, London, W11 4AH at 7pm. The march is in remembrance of those who lost their lives and will involve members of the local community affected by the fire and representatives from the FBU.

Secondly, on 15th June there will be a solidarity rally from midday, assembling at Portland Place, London, W1A 1AA. This is organised by Justice 4 Grenfell and the Grenfell Trust and will be highlighting the local community’s continued fight for justice.

We would ask branches to publicise these events to members and any queries on the contents of the LTB should be directed to gsoffice@cwu.org.

Yours sincerely

General Secretary

RMPFS Pay Review April 2019

RMPFS Pay Review April 2019

 

Dear Colleagues,

Negotiations regarding the 2019 Pay Claim in RMPFS have been ongoing since the beginning of the year. The negotiating team have continued to press the pay related policies carried at last year’s RMPFS Policy Forum in Birmingham which are attached for information.

Discussions have been conducted against the background of the tight financial targets placed on RMPFS by Royal Mail Group but have nevertheless been constructive. Further meetings are scheduled and a formal offer from RMPFS is expected shortly.

Any enquires regarding this LTB should be directed to the Outdoor Department, reference 120.12, email address: outdoorsecretary@cwu.org. Or to Ray Ellis reference 301, email address: khawkins@cwu.org.

Yours sincerely,

 

Mark Baulch                                                           Ray Ellis

TRISH LAVELLE – CWU NATIONAL OFFICER

I am writing to advise Branches and Representatives that after 17 years of leading our Education and Training work and 2 years of working with me at the heart of Redesign, Assistant Secretary Trish Lavelle has decided that now is the right time for her to move on to enable her to concentrate on new areas of work and to be closer to her family in Ireland.

Trish will be leaving the CWU on the 30th June 2019 and I want to place on record the thanks of the whole union for the excellent work she has undertaken on behalf of our Representatives and members.

Throughout her career Trish has been a lifelong trade unionist and activist and is held in high regard across the whole labour movement.  I am sure I speak on behalf of all Branches, Representatives and her many friends within the union, in wishing Trish and her family all the very best for the future.

Further information will be sent out in due course.

Celebrating the Windrush Generation

Following on from our ongoing commitment to support and promote events that raise awareness and celebrate the Windrush generation, we are delighted to provide information concerning an exciting event organised by the TUC.

The LESE (London East and South East) TUC Race Relations Committee is celebrating Windrush Day by hosting an event on Wednesday 26th June, commencing at 6pm – 8.30pm.

The CWU’s Mark Bastiani has been pivotal in helping to organise this celebration, which will remember the suffering that the Windrush scandal has caused. The theme will focus on seeking to change attitudes and how children of the Windrush generation are perceived.

There will be a number of guest speakers attending, along with dignitaries from the Caribbean.
