Labour leadership candidate Ed Balls was visiting Dundee this morning with a message of Keep the Post Public.
Ed Balls was visiting the Crown post office at Meadowside in Dundee with the Communication Workers' Union, adding his weight to the cause to keep Royal Mail in public hands.
John Brown, CWU Scotland regional secretary, said: "We're very happy that Ed joined us in this campaign to keep the post public. Postal services are vital to local communities and businesses in Scotland and the threat of privatisation by the coalition government would be devastating for jobs and services.
Councillor Laurie Bidwell said: "I am delighted to support the CWU campaign. I hope that the people of Dundee will demonstrate their support for this campaign and write to their MPs to let them know they want a successful public postal service."
