British Postal Workers Refuse to Deliver BNP Material

By Alistair Dunsmuir

The Communications Workers Union (CWU) will renew its agreement with the Royal Mail that postal workers should not have to deliver campaign material for far-right political parties at the next general election.

The British National Party (BNP) have threatened legal action. The non-formal contractual arrangement known as the 'conscience clause' was developed by local level union members and has been supported on a national basis for seven years.
