The Communication Workers Union
(CWU) is the biggest union for the
communications industry in the UK with 300,000 members. It was formed in
January 1995 when the Union of Communication Workers joined forces with
the National Communications Union.
CWU members work in the Post
Office, BT and other telephone companies, cable TV, Accenture HR
Services, the Alliance and Leicester and Girobank.
Our members' expertise includes
engineering, computing, clerical, mechanical, driving, retail, financial
and manual skills.
We aim to: -
-
to provide first class
collective and individual representation for all CWU members;
-
to achieve security of
employment for all members;

to offer individual
membership services of the highest quality;
-
to expand trade union
membership throughout the communications industry;
-
to promote, by industrial
