Communication Workers Union: Keep The Post Public

• TNT compete with the Royal Mail in the UK market now – and much of their work is from us, the taxpayer, through government departments and local authorities, or utilities like BT.
• Just this week, it was revealed that Royal Mail has complained to the government about TNT poaching their customers by wrongly telling companies that they were going to take over Royal Mail’s subsidiary GLS.
• Today they are forcing their Dutch workers to strike by demanding that they take a 5% pay cut – a move that even the chair of TNT’s works council admitted was “blackmail”.
• TNT has previously refused to pay the minimum wage in Germany – and they set up their own so-called “trade union” whose General Secretary was TNT’s Chief Executive.

• The UK has nearly double the number of post boxes per head of population that TNT provides in the Netherlands – and they charge between double and treble the price of Royal Mail for 50-100g first class letters.

Be concise, but you should re-write the letter to suit your own ideas – writing from your personal perspective will make it more powerful.

Be polite, so that the company cannot just ignore the message.
