Meeting CANCELLED: solidarity with post strikes

Venue: Exmouth Arms, Star Cross St, Euston

The organisers write ...

As part of the London Shop Stewards Network is holding this meeting as part of its program aimed at supporting London CWU postal workers.

At the meeting we will be proposing that in light of the attacks on the CWU postal workers it is necessary to push for our individual unions to coordinate industrial action in existing/coming disputes with CWU strike dates.

Also, that we start building for “supportive actions” if called for by the CWU postal workers.
