Socialist Party Wales Socialism In Wales

CWU members at Parcel force set up a picket line this morning outside their Swansea Depot in support of their local rep who is being threatened with disciplinary action and who has been forced away from his job for the past 21 weeks.
CWU members frustration at the lack of progress to resolve this dispute blew up this morning when workers walked out of their depot in an attempt to remove this threat to their union rep with a recognition that if any victimisation by a bullying management is left unchallenged then further attacks on members would almost certainly take place.
The large number of CWU members on the picket were determined to defend their rep and to ensure he returns to work immediately and continues to defend their interests.
CWU officials were on site attempting to resolve this long standing dispute.
Socialist Party and Swansea Trades Council members were warmly greeted on the picket line and thanked for their support and solidarity.
