Lobby the TUC Congress on Sunday September 8^th All out Together in November!

The struggle to defend the NHS from being dismantled and privatised is becoming increasingly important. It's vital therefore that the TUC demonstration outside the Tory Party Conference in Manchester on 29 September is massive.

It has been called to ‘Save our NHS – Defend Jobs & Services. No to Austerity’. For more details, including transport – TUC Unite  Unison  The NSSN will be having a contingent behind our banner: ‘for a 24 hour general strike to stop the Tory cuts!’ March with us!

However, we also believe that co-ordinated industrial action is a key part of the strategy to save the NHS and fight austerity overall and it is urgent. Therefore we will continue to lobby the TUC now and also at TUC conference on Sep 8^th.

Please join us! 

We are pleased to announce this lobby is now supported by five TUC Joint Consultative Committee (TUCJCC) Regional Representatives, the Campaign for Trade Union Freedom and the TUC National Unemployed Centres Combine.
