The CWU undertakes a range of political work on issues that affect our members. We’ve successfully campaigned on issues from pay, pensions and workplace rights, to broader issues like the NHS and housing. In order to continue this work we ask members to make a contribution of 20p per week towards it.



Any member choosing not to do so will not, by reason of not contributing, be disadvantaged compared with other members of the union (except in relation to control of the political fund).
