Join Our Branch

Representing Communication Workers

The Lancs and Cumbria Branch have members in many companies in the Communications sector. The Branch represents clerical and engineers workers in Telecommunication & Communication industries in the PR, FY, BB, BL, OL, CA and LA postcode areas. Whilst most of our members are from BT, we represent many others in Carphone Warehouse/TalkTalk, Homeserve, Virgin Media, Manpower, Royal Mail, Vodafone to name but a few.

 

There is a guide available for BT Members which gives information on agreements and guidance. It may also be of interest to those working outside of BT.

Retired Members

The retired members’ section is run entirely for members of the branch that have retired and are no longer employed. Ian Lorimer is the Chair and Colin Wilks is the Secretary.

Events are regularly held and all members of the retired section are welcome to attend. There is a festive gathering around Christmas when retired members are invited to meet for a meal.

CWU Head Office, as part of their drive to modernise, have introduced another website for Retired Members. Go to rm.cwu.org to see what is available.

If you want more information, please contact our team today!

Our Rules

As with all organisations, the Lancs & Cumbria branch have their rules. Below are links to National and Local rules.

We have a technical problem that needs some development for downloading PDFs via the Android App.
