AS EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW UNISON HAS CALLED A NATIONAL STRIKE TO PROTEST AGAINST CUTS TO OUR PENSIONS. UNLESS YOU HAVE BEEN EXEMPTED IT IS EXPECTED THAT ALL MEMBERS WILL OBSERVE OUR ACTION.
Pickets
We do need volunteers to help out on picket lines. It is very important that we have good presence to demonstrate our determination to protect our pensions. Please talk to your local steward or phone the Branch Office to find out where your nearest picket line will be.
Rally
We have organised a march and a rally in support of our protest against reductions to our pensions. Please come along and make sure we send a very strong message to the Government. We are being joined by members of the unions who are taking strike action with us, GMB, TGWU, UCAAT, AMICUS, Napo, NIPSA, AEP and CYWU so it promises to be a very important event. The provisional arrangements are:
WE ARE MEETING ON THE FOREST GROUND IN NOTTINGHAM AT 11.00 ON THE 28TH MARCH.
We will march to the Albert Hall on Maid Marion Way for 12.00pm, where we will have a rally. This will only be a success if we all ensure that we take part, please don’t assume that everyone else will participate, we must show this Government that they cannot force through reductions in our pensions without a fight.
Our Promise of Solidarity
When you joined UNISON you agreed that you would stand by your fellow members to fight together. This means that all our other members have agreed to stand and fight with you. It is our commitment to protecting each other that makes us so strong. Please keep our union strong.
I look forward to seeing you on one of our picket lines or at the rally.
Jill Turner
Joint Branch Secretary
