Postal Workers: Save Our Royal Mail
Communication Workers' Union calls for Labour policy with renationalisation at heart...

Postal workers threw down the gauntlet to Labour today, urging the party to scupper the Con-Dems' plan to sell Royal Mail by pledging to immediately renationalise the much-loved service if elected in 2015.

Writing exclusively in today's Morning Star, Communication Workers Union (CWU) leader Billy Hayes called on Labour to back the campaign against privatising the world's oldest postal service.

Mr Hayes is seeking support for the union's plan of action, including a national postal workers' strike, at Labour's annual conference in Brighton.
