We are inviting all opposed to compulsory work programmes to join our picket at CWU HQ at 150 The Broadway, Wimbledon, London, SW19 1RX on April 2 at 1100 to demand “No Workfare at Royal Mail”.

In January Boycott Workfare reported that the communication worker’s union, the CWU, had signed an agreement with the Royal Mail to facilitate workfare in the Royal Mail. This has rightly provoked outcry amongst postal workers, unemployed people and the public, leading to another statement claiming that the scheme will be voluntary. However the government scheme referred to is still subject to sanctions and the CWU have offered no evidence that sanctions will not be applied. As the Guardian has reported, people turning down the “Work Experience” scheme are being forced onto the Mandatory Work Activity scheme. Boycott Workfare and CWU members have issued this open letter, calling for a picket of the union offices on 2nd April. All are welcome.
