Latest on Postal Workers

Wednesday, April 27th 2005

The fact that outside contractors are being brought in to handle election material raises the stakes in the post office dispute.

I call on Derry workers to show solidarity with the post office staff by refusing to take on this work.

I am again asking the other parties to meet and consider this new situation and to withdraw their material from the post office. I believe that this should be done as a matter of urgency.

If we all stand by the Derry workers they will win.

Jobs are being undermined across the public sector by contracting out. This immediate example gives us the opportunity to show solidarity. What the Derry workers are asking for is simple fairness.

It's time to deliver for Derry workers.
