Communications regulator accused of failing post services

The Communications Workers’ Union has accused communications regulator ComReg of failing in its statutory duty to protect universal services in postal delivery, telecoms, and broadband services.

The CWU biennial conference yesterday called for a root-and-branch examination of ComReg, its role and its impact on telecoms and postal services.

A call for the protection of loss-making postal services was also made by the 17,000-member union’s general secretary, Steve Fitzpatrick.
