This is the Web site of the Central London Branch of the Communication Workers Union (CWU)

The CWU is the Trade Union representing over 250,000 people within the Telecommunications, IT and Postal Industries in UK.

The purpose of this site is to give our members, and other interested parties, the latest information on negotiations between the Union and the telecoms Industry on issues that affect them. Also bring them news of other issues that are occurring in the wider trade union and labour movements. Links to some external sites that may be of interest can be found on our links page.

 Our Branch of the Union represents over 2,500 members working for telecom and related companies mostly in the Central London area with some specialist groups based further afield. Most of our Branch  membership work for BT, however a growing number work for other Telecoms companies. The Branch was formed as a merger of the former Thames Central Branch and City Of London Engineering Branch. Each of these were formed in previous mergers of older branches across Central London.

We also organise in COLT (City of London Telecom).  In a landmark decision for COLT employees the central arbitration committee granted union recognition to the network operation team in Powergate in 2006.
