Postal union ballots members on DSA boycott:
Around 112,000 CWU members will receive ballot papers asking them four questions, one of which asks: "Do you support the boycott of competitors' mail".While the ballot is primarily targeted at strengthening CWU's hand in negotiations with Royal Mail on pay, privatisation and working conditions - a strong yes vote on the question of boycotting DSA mail would give the union the mandate to introduce a boycott."This ballot is about protecting the interests of our members and the future of the UK postal service. It is time to challenge Royal Mail and send a strong message to the government and regulator. The consultative ballot deals with the complex issues facing our members and the postal industry. We're asking postal workers to support the union or allow Royal Mail a free hand to determine their future - there is no fence to sit on," said CWU deputy general secretary Dave Ward.
