About Us

The Communications Workers Union was formed in January 1995 when the Union of
Communication Workers joined with the National Communications Union. The CWU is the biggest
union in the UK communications industry with 200000 members.

We are a campaigning union, making our collective voice heard over issues such as Fair Pay, Pensions, Just Terms & Conditions, Health & Safety, Equal Opportunities and Politics in the communications industry. Working together as one gives us strength to promote equality, diversity and security for our members.

Our Union Values

  1. To unite and organise all those entitled to be members. To protect and promote members' interests and maintain and improve their working lives.
  2. To regulate the relations between members and their employers, and between members.
  3. To secure the greatest possible measure of effective participation by the Union and its members in all decisions affecting their working lives as determined by these rules
  4. To actively oppose all forms of discrimination based on race, creed, religion, age, political affiliation, disability, marital status, sex or sexual or gender orientation in industry, the Union and society in general. To this end the CWU shall actively oppose any organisation, political or otherwise, whose aims are racist or fascist.
  5. To promote and encourage proportionality and fair representation of all members, in industry, the Union and society in general.
  6. To actively identify any cause or barrier that prevents the Union being fully representative of its members. This shall include positive action in favour of women and race minorities until such time as the Union is satisfied that its structure reflects and supports the gender and racial balance of the members it represents.
  7. To promote, organise and facilitate access to adult education to enable members to advance their skills for life.
  8. To further these objects by political means, including, where appropriate by use of its Political fund.
