The Guardian writes "Business minister Michael Fallon says privatisation of postal service is a 'practical, logical, commercial decision' "
Postal workers delegates at their conference have voted unanimously for a full ballot of Royal Mail workers on a boycott of private mail companies' 'final mile' mail as part of the union's moves to protect the universal service and prevent privatisation of Royal Mail.
The regular AGM of the Communications Workers Union South West London Regional Branch (postcodes SW1 To SW20), held at Battersea Delivery Office on 30 April 2013 was abandoned in favour of a meeting about current issues of the Ballot of Boycott of Competitor’s Mail, the opposition to privatisation of Royal Mail, the 2013 Pay Claim, the proposed Colleague Share.
Dave Ward, Deputy General Secretary (Postal) and Martin Walsh (London Divisional Rep) addressed the meeting.
Martin Walsh: “We have 4 to 6 months to save the industry”
Dave Ward; “We oppose privatisation. We are talking to senior Labour people and want them to come out in opposition to privatisation. Last time we were negotiating with Mandelson."
Barry from Stockwell SW9 Office: “I used to be a member of the Labour Party. I don't trust the Labour Party. The reason I left was Mandelson and New Labour”
Dave Ward: “a group of workers focused and going in one direction can change people's minds, it is a collective strength”
This meeting was very different than the AGM last year in South West London – see here
