London Demands Better - TUC Meeting - Monday 13 June 2022, 6.30 - 8.00pm
Unions demand an urgent response to the cost-of-living crisis - The cost-of-living crisis is raging. But don't just get angry - get organised!
On the day that the Elizabeth Line opens to the public, join our demo on the corner of New Oxford St and Charing Cross Road.
On Tuesday, the Elizabeth line finally opens and the world will be told how great transport in London is. But thousands of jobs (600 on tube stations alone) are under threat from Tory cuts to transport funding in London.
A pensions grab is underway and working agreements are being torn up. Fewer staff, knackered staff, poorer service; this is ‘managed decline’ the Mayor speaks of.
Dear Colleague,
I am writing to let you know about a number of important trade union events taking place this year, many of which were not able to take place in-person for the last two years due to the pandemic.
SUBJECT: Save the Date: TUC National Demo - 'Britain Needs a Pay Rise' - Saturday 18 June
Dear Colleagues
The TUC is organising a National Demo on Saturday 18th June in London starting at 12pm with the key message that 'Britain Needs a Pay Rise'. Transport workers are essential workers and as the cost-of-living soars our Union needs to send a clear message to the Government and bosses that our members deserve a decent pay rise.
Dear colleague
Cost of living crisis and justice for P&O workers - demonstrations on 2nd April 2022
As inflation continues to rise, energy prices soar and wages are held down the cost of living crisis escalates. Big companies are continuing to rake in profits while piling misery onto working people as consumers and workers. The disgraceful illegal sacking of our members at P&O Ferries by the multinational logistics firm DP World is part of that attack.
