The Communication Workers Union welcomes Lord Mandelson’s statement in Parliament confirming that the Postal Services Bill will not be heard by Parliament.
Droylsden East Councillors Kieran and Susan Quinn, seen above with members of the Manchester CWU, have both been out on the streets with the CWU - The Posties Union - campaigning to keep the post public.
As Cllr Kieran Quinn said this once again shows the power of the British public. They let Mandelson know they opposed his plans.
As Cllr Susan Quinn said "As someone who has delivered the mail to households in East Manchester I know the value the public get from a wholly publicly owned Royal Mail."

CWU general secretary Billy Hayes said: “The government has not only looked at market forces but has listened to the British public. “Privatisation was a deeply unpopular suggestion from day one.
“We now look forward to resolving issues which remain around pensions, regulation and modernisation. “The CWU is as committed as anyone to improving relations in Royal Mail. Now that this uncertainty has been lifted there is a great opportunity to step up a gear in modernising Royal Mail in the public sector.”
