The crisis at Royal Mail will become a “major political issue” because our new campaign will “force a positive solution” onto the agenda, our general secretary Dave Ward has told members. We believe the real answer is a “new model of ownership” where “the government will take a bigger say in the company, and workers have some real ownership of the company.” We have launched SOS Royal Mail, a campaign that will “force a positive solution to these problems onto the agenda.” As Dave told reps, “this campaign will not be sorted in headquarters, but through our local power. Our members will be a collective voice that says to politicians – thank you for holding Royal Mail accountable, now do what you’re meant to do, which is change things for the workforce, the company and the country.” Our deputy general secretary Martin Walsh also addressed reps, emphasising the importance of the campaign to “reach every part of our membership”, and warned that “unless we get out there, the next 18 months will mean even more significant challenges.”
