Derby!

Demonstration
Against the Tories
Sunday's
march against the Tories in Manchester saw 70,000 people march to
defend the NHS and public services. Teachers, firefighters, public
sector workers, environmental campaigners, anti-bedroom tax
campaigners and many more marched to show the Tories we want them out. Now.
Unite
the Resistance conference 19 October: Organising to win
Build the protests, build the strikes, build the unions: Organising to win.
Speakers include: Billy Hayes, CWU general secretary; Jeremy Corbyn MP; Ronnie Draper, BFAWU general secretary, Frank Morris, blacklisted UNITE shop steward who was reinstated after determined campaigning; speakers from the One Housing Dispute and the Boris Bikes dispute.
Unite the Resistance has called a national conference for 19 October. The Tories continue their assault on working class people. Alongside huge cuts in public spending and an onslaught on benefits, workers face pay cuts, attacks on their pensions and job losses. Millions of workers want to see a fight back.
This conference is a unique opportunity for those new to organising in the workplace and their communities as well as those who have experience in the trade unions and campaigns, here and internationally, to come together and discuss how we can organise to win.
We need a strategy to build bigger and more effective trade unions. Across the public and private sector protests, campaigns and strikes are being planned for this autumn. This conference will address how we build as much support as possible for these and provide an alternative to austerity that can give hope to all those resisting the government’s assault on working people’s lives.
There will be a number of workshops introduced by trade unionists, campaigners and activists at the cutting edge of the struggle against austerity.Click here to download leaflet
