Dear Colleagues

RICHARD BRUCE – Former POSTAL EXECUTIVE MEMBER AND Branch Secretary – MOUNT PLEASANT Branch

It is with great sadness that I write to inform you that Richard Bruce, former Postal Executive Council member suffered a massive heart attack and passed away on Monday, 18^th February.

Richard joined the CWU in January 1980, he was a Secretary of the Mount Pleasant Branch and Area Processing Rep from June 1992 to 1997 and a Postal Executive Council member from 1996 to early 2000’s. He was a very committed Representative who always put the members first.

Richard will be cremated at a private ceremony, which is being held today in New York.

On behalf of the CWU I would like to convey our deepest sympathies and condolences to Richard’s wife Leslie, his family and friends at this very sad time.

Richard will be sorely missed by members, colleagues and friends within the union and the wider labour movement.

Yours sincerely

Dave Ward
