Hands Off Our Post Office

The European Commission proposes to liberalise all Postal Markets in January 2009, which means opening them up to competition which may have adverse repercussions for the safety of our jobs. Postal Services throughout Europe are calling for safeguards to be put in place to protect our postal business. A European wide protest has been organised for 1-2pm on Wednesday 6th June which will see demonstrations at ALL Major European Post Offices.

We are urging all our members to support this lunch hour protest outside the GPO on the day. ALL company post offices are closing between 1-2pm to show solidarity across Europe to save our postal services.

Although this Circular is from my Union, the Civil Public and Services Union (CPSU) An Post Branch, it is being surported by members of the other Unions in An Post. In addition I expect other Unions outside of An Post will also be supporting this protest next Wednesday. I'm calling on all members of the general public who want to guarantee that our door to door postal deliveries remain to support this lunch hour protest from 1-2pm next Wednesday June 6th at the GPO in Dublin.
