The unions long running Bite Back campaign gathered momentum this year. And in December, the CWU, supported by a coalition of animal charities, enforcement agencies, trade unions and politicians, once again called upon on the government to make urgent amendments to the outdated Dangerous Dogs Act 1991, which does not protect those attacked on private property. Around 6,000 postal workers and 400 telecom engineers are attacked by dogs every year and the union is now demanding that vital dog control legislation reforms be taken forward in the 2012 Dog Control Bill.
