fruits of Bush and Blair’s war”.

10th July: Build the Fightback
On
10th July there could be up to 1.5 million workers on strike - the
biggest since the November 30th public sector strike in 2011.
Unison, GMB, the PCS and NUT are committed to joint action on the day. Unite will almost certainly be out too.
To make the strike as effective as possible we need to be visible, and doing everything we can to make sure the public understand why we are taking action and the threats we all face to our services! Push for your union to demonstrate on the day!
