Dear Colleagues

JOE MENZIES – Former MEMBER OF THE CWU NATIONAL EXECUTIVE COUNCIL – SCOTLAND NO5 Branch

It is with regret that I write to inform you that Joe Menzies passed away on Wednesday 16^th January.

Joe joined the union (then known as UPW) on commencing Post Office employment and after a year he was elected Postman Section Secretary. During his time in the union Joe held many positions including Assistant Branch Secretary, Branch Secretary, ADO(P), DO(P), Regional Postal Committee, Scottish Council committee, National Delegate to STUC and as an Executive Council member.

At this sad time our thoughts are of course with Joe’s family and on behalf of the CWU, I convey our deepest sympathy and condolences. He will be sorely missed by members, colleagues and friends within the union and the wider labour movement.

We will forward details of Joe’s funeral arrangements in due course.

Any enquiries on the content of this LTB please forward to gsoffice@cwu.org

Yours sincerely

Dave Ward

General Secretary
