Please find below link to a No 10 website petition re the Royal Mail which we began setting up last week. The people who run the site were not that keen to accept it for various reasons, but Kris Ingram (Liverpool Clerical branch) who runs the NW regional website persevered on our behalf.

Please follow the link and sign the petition:

     Your petition reads:

     We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to ensure the
     government accepts its responsibility for postal services in
     this country by virtue of its ownership of the Royal Mail

     Government should ensure that Royal Mail address the concerns
     of their employees urgently; refraining from forcing through
     draconian measures, guaranteed to isolate the workforce and
     create industrial unrest as it has attempted recently. We call
     upon the PM to ensure the government supports the Royal Mail,
     introduces modernisation which has the backing of the
     workforce, improves the mail services to the country, ensures a
     thriving and modern Royal Mail, whilst maintaining and
     improving the working conditions of its employers and the
     future sustainability of jobs within the Royal Mail. The
     Government should ensure a speedy and productive outcome of
     urgent talks to resolve this dispute and guarantee the future
     of Royal Mail services, rewarding appropriately the loyalty and
     professionalism of its workforce. Urging postal workers to
     accept a decline in their pensions, terms & conditions, massive
     redundancies, is not the answer. The same level of commitment
     as that shown over Northern Rock,  should be evident regarding
     the future of Government owned Royal Mail. The Royal Mail is
     central to modern and flourishing economy of this country.

     Thanks for submitting your petition.
