STOP THE CUTS – PROTEST!

PCS North Staffordshire

HMRC, DWP, MOJ
27 June 2013
Albion Square 12:30pm
PCS protest action 30 Nov 2012
 
On 26 June after 3 years of cuts, the Government will announce as part of the Comprehensive Spending Review more job cuts, increased workloads and privatisations.
 
They are even talking about privatising courts and closing museums. Plans are being made to water down the civil service job security agreement, which has prevented thousands of compulsory redundancies over the last decade.
 
Our terms and conditions, including holidays and sick pay, are already under threat and our annual pay increases have been capped at 1% until 2016, meaning pay will fall further behind the cost of living.
 
On 27 June PCS members will join a series of lunchtime protests around the country. Join our protest.
Say NO to the failed Government Policies of Austerity and demand fairness.
 
“Britain Needs a Pay Rise”
 
*Join the protest at your office or the protest rally in Hanley*
Supporters are welcome – Bring your trade union banners!

NSSN Bulletin 146: Let's Beat the Blacklist & Build a Fighting Trade Union Movement


So far from Staffordshire trade union reps and activists from Unite Local 6110, Unite Community, Unison Health, NUT, CWU, PCS will be going to the NSSN conference.
Transport leaves Stoke Railway Station at 7am
But it's not too late for you to book a place. If you are interested in going or just want more info please call/text Andy on 07845893607

More detail about the conference below:
11am-5pm, Saturday June 29th, Camden Centre, Judd Street, London, WC1H 9JE

Speakers include Mark Serwotka, PCS general secretary, Billy Hayes, CWU general secretary and Steve Gillan, POA general secretary

The NSSN was initiated by the RMT transport union in 2006. Seven national unions – RMT, PCS, CWU, NUM, POA, NUJ, and BFAWU – are either affiliated to the NSSN or officially support it as well as countless union branches, shop stewards committees and trades councils.

We support workers in struggle as well as those facing victimisation for the crime of defending their members from the employer’s attacks.

The conference will include main sessions on resisting the cuts but also workshops on defending the NHS, organising in the workplace, housing, organising the unorganised, fighting blacklisting etc. It’s open to everyone in the unions and all those fighting these brutal cuts.
