Happy New Year From Brighton Trades Council
Sadly the government’s slash and burn of our public services and welfare state looks set to continue so if you haven’t yet made a resolution yet maybe getting stuck into the fight back could be one!
Below are upcoming events. Many are to do with the local council cuts, where we will be organising lobbies of the council meetings and a public meeting on defending our council services.
Also this Saturday coming we would very much encourage all trade unionists to head up to London to attend the PCS Left Unity Conference on Defending Pensions. With the fantastic united front from virtually all unions on November 30th looking shaky this conference has been opened up by Left Unity (which much of the leadership of PCS belong to) to all trade union members to plan how we can push all our unions to fight to win. This conference has the backing of a whole number of the left groups of various unions and there is no need to register in advance. More info is here http://www.leftunity.org.uk/
A group will be heading up from Brighton meeting at the station at 9:20am on the 7th Jan, please feel free to come along and join us, the conference starts at 11am at Friends Meeting House by Euston Station.
