Today, 19th January 2008, a rally in support of striking Burslem postal workers took place. Postal workers from around the UK attended the rally in a huge show of support for the 12 suspended Postmen and the 100 striking Postal workers.
The strike action was called after 12 Royal Mail employees were suspended for 'alleged' harassment. Though with further investigation it would seem the source of harassment within the office is from the local management.

Introduction to cwutube
In 2007 Royal Mail employees who were members of the Communication Workers Union in the UK took part in the first Postal strike for over ten years.
Along with the obvious strike action there were many postal workers taking their dispute into cyberspace.
For many years Union members have complained that their views are not well represented in the media. However with the advent of web 2.0 and the increasing ease of uploading content onto the web union members are now using the internet to get their views across. The aim of this site is to get as many CWU related videos linked from here as I can. If you know of a video that's not on here please post a link.
