CWU will not stand back and allow BT workers to be thrown on the scrapheap
Support our members working in BT who are key workers in your community as they fight to protect not only their jobs but the service they provide to you, urges CRAIG ANDERSON

SCOTTISH TUC 2020 convenes against the backdrop of the most difficult year many of us have ever seen, in Scotland and right across the UK.

However, it has been the working class who have stepped up and endured the most of these challenges — continuing to tend to the sick and vulnerable, to maintain our nation’s utilities and infrastructure, to provide food, to educate our young and to care for all.

Members of our union, the CWU, have proudly taken their place among the UK’s army of essential, key workers — our fantastic Royal Mail members keeping our people posted and our superb BT members keeping our country connected.
