Postal Workers in the North West are working around the clock to make sure every community in the region get their mail during the virus lockdown.

This event will mark the ninth annual National Postal Workers Day, when the nation celebrates the hard work and dedication of hundreds of thousands of postal workers, who collect, sort and deliver letters, parcels and packets to 29 million addresses, six days a week in every village, town and city in the UK.

The Communication Workers Union is this year calling on the public, media and politicians to give a greater level of recognition to postal workers than ever before.

A spokesman for the union said: "Despite hugely challenging times, CWU members are keeping the country connected. From delivering essential items, to checking on the elderly and taking shopping to the most vulnerable in society, we have seen thousands of examples of local postal workers stepping up."

You can thank your postie when you see them or by using #PostalWorkersDay on social media.

Commenting on the event CWU Regional Secretary Carl Webb said: "Postal Workers in the North West as well as across the country are doing a fantastic job. It is sad that senior management have not recognised the efforts of our members but the public have.

"The sight of posters in windows, drinks left on doorsteps or even a simple ‘thank you’ mean the world to our members. On National Postal Workers Day this Wednesday please let your postie know how appreciated they are by thanking them or posting on social media using #PostalWorkersDay – thank you for your support.”
