CWU pensioners are paying the price for government inaction. In September 2025, An Post unions secured a 7% pension increase. An Post applied to the Department in October 2025, but still no approval.

Bad bosses go on the naughty list
Covalen’s bosses are channelling their inner Grinch this Christmas season. Instead of spreading Christmas cheer, they’re serving up a corporate Scrooge moment, turning what should be a time of joy into a season of uncertainty.

This International Men’s Day, we’re shining a light on men’s mental health. In Ireland, 75% of suicides are men, and research shows men are far less likely to seek help for depression, anxiety, or thoughts of suicide.

The scapegoating of An Post and the charges being made against it lack all credibility.
In a strongly worded letter, CWU GS, Seán McDonagh, challenges recent claims linking An Post to the collapse of Fastway Couriers, describing such analysis as “way too convenient and completely inaccurate.”
