TO: ALL BRANCHES WITH POSTAL MEMBERS

Dear Colleague

TODAY’S SUN ARTICLE PAGE 14

Some of our members will have seen the article in the Sun today that claims that Dave Ward, DGS P, has a sticker on his letter box saying ‘no junk mail’.

The article then uses this claim for a tirade of allegations.

We have proved beyond any doubt that neither the letter box nor the house was Dave Ward’s. I can also confirm that no such sticker is present on his property.

In addition, the postwoman named and pictured is not his postwoman and nor is the person pictured who it claims to be.

The article was clearly designed at attacking both the Union and Dave Ward personally and to undermine the dispute.

I have today written to the Sun requesting a full retraction under the relevant Editor’s Code of Practice. It is important that we bring these facts to our members’ attention.

Yours sincerely
