Shaping the Future is the theme of the Communications Workers' Union conference in Athlone today.
The future of An Post in particular is "gravely uncertain", according to the union, without significant government investment.
Other topics of discussion at the Sheraton Hotel are a pay increase for eir and An Post staff, rebuilding an apprenticeship programme in eir, and ensuring National Broadband Ireland is held to high standards.
