Unions in Pakistan are fighting the privatisation of Pakistan Post saying it will not bring better services as claimed by the Government. The unions say the "evils" of privatisation will cost jobs and damage the service to customers and that Pakistan Post should be trying to develop it's network and services and not be sold off to private companies only interested in chasing profit. The unions have held several demonstrations and one of UNI's postal affiliates in Pakistan, the All Pakistan Postal DMO Employees and Workers Union (APPEDWU) has sent pictures of the protests and the message that "Please join hands with Pakistan postal workers against privatisation". The union can be sent messages to: Asad Khan, General Secretary, email: asadkhansfc@yahoo.com
