Hands off our Unions, Defend our right to resist #austerity Public Rally organised by The Peoples Assembly 11th Feb #share Tuesday 11 February, 6:30pm Camden Centre, Bidborough Street, London WC1H 9AU This is a free event but please register your place: Speakers included : Len McCluskey, Unite the Union Mark Serwotka, Public and Commercial Services Union PCS Union Francesca Martinez, Comedian John Hendy QC 10 Downing Street’s announcement of an inquiry into trade union tactics is further proof of its determination to undermine the right to protest against its austerity programme. As millions of people face falling real wages, #unemployment, part time or #casualised low paid work, and the rapid destruction or #privatisation of the #WelfareState they stand in need of trade union organisation and the right to protest more than ever. Respect For the Unemployed & Benefit Claimants pledge ourselves to resist this attack. The right to protest is a fundamental civil liberty. The right to join an effective trade union is the product of generations of working class resistance. We have no intention of relinquishing it to a Government with no interests in the needs of working people.
