Addressing the Communications Workers' Union's biennial conference in Athlone, CWU General Secretary Seán McDonagh said that the financial impacts of Covid-19 had placed a huge burden on An Post.

The Communications Workers' Union has warned that the future of An Post is"gravely uncertain" without Government investment to protect and maintain vital services.

"With at least €100 million needed to cover the Covid-related losses of the last two years, the financial sustainability of the company will be difficult without commitment from its Government shareholder," Mr McDonagh said. Over 300 delegates are attending the CWU conference addressing motions across multiple companies represented by the union including An Post, Eir, Vodafone and UPS.
