Camden New Journal - LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Published: 22 October 2009
 
Why we must support the postal workers’ fight

• THE postal workers’ fight is vital for every worker, student, unemployed person and pensioner in Britain.
It is part of a much wider battle in defence of public services, jobs, trade union rights, pensions, and pay and conditions at work. It’s about who will be made to pay for the economic crisis.
Throughout both the public and private sectors, workers are facing similar problems: job cuts, heavier workloads, bullying management, attacks on pensions, attempts to weaken trade union organisation. A victory for the postal workers would show the rest that resistance is possible and that workers can win. Defeat would encourage further attacks. We call on all who live and work in Camden to support the postal workers in any way they can: sending messages of support, organising collections, inviting speakers to trade union and other meetings, visiting picket-lines, helping to build the local postal workers’ support group.
