The Communication Workers Friendly
Society (CWFS)
offers a range of insurance services. The CWFS was founded by
Post Office trade unionists one hundred years ago and was part
of the union until legislation determined that there had to be
greater independence. It remains an integral part of the CWU and
is run as an entirely non-profit making service. CWFS can be
contacted on Freephone 0800 064 0654.

maturity payments or who have money owing to them on
policies that have closed. Please could you contact CWFS on

Union Energy
Endorsed by over 50 trade unions for its excellent value, Union
Energy was established to provide cheaper gas and electricity to
trade union members six years ago and the company, whose fuel is
supplied by ScottishPower, has already attracted thousands of
union members.
In addition to initial savings
and on-going competitive prices, Union Energy customers also
benefit from free Payment Protection** worth up to £400. In the
event of either voluntary or compulsory redundancy, a customer's
energy account will be credited with up to £400 (£200 for gas
and £200 for electricity) to pay their energy bills when they
need help the most.
There is very little hassle
involved in switching to Union Energy. No new pipes, cables or
meters are required so there is no disruption to your home, and
you can even switch over the phone to avoid filling in an
application form. What's more, in the unlikely event that
customers are unhappy with the service, they just need to give
Union Energy 28 days' notice and they are free to switch to
another energy supplier.
To find out how much you could
save, call Union Energy on 0800 027 9000.
Union Energy has launched a new initiative to reward existing
customers with £15 of Marks & Spencer vouchers every time they
introduce a friend or colleague to Union Energy who then becomes
a gas and electricity customer. For further information on the
