Safeguarding Public Services

I'm at an event on Humberstone Gate organised by city & county Unison.

The level of cuts promised by all the main parties in the election is frightening.

What we need to make clear is that cuts in public funding & job losses mean that the services will be cut.

Does it make sense when unemployment is high to make Jobcentre Plus workers redundant? Fewer staff will be dealing with even more people out of work.

When the well off avoid so much tax does it make sense to lay off HMRC workers?

When there are more families under pressure does it make sense to lay off social workers?

We clearly need a united campaign with all public sector workers to highlight our arguments.



Unity really is strength.
