The Fight Back Begins

In my last post I discussed some of the problems facing PCS members and the phony war.

The good news is that PCS DWP Leicestershire General Branch is leading the fightback in Leicestershire.

We have taken the initiative in making common cause with other PCS branches, other public sector trade unions, community groups who will be affected but cuts and anyone else who wants to support our campaign.

We organised a stall at the clock tower in Leicester last Saturday. There was a petition and some street theatre. There was considerable support and interest from the public and coverage on Radio Leicester and the Leicester Mercury.

The next step is a meeting of activists on Tuesday 29 June 2010 in the Independant Arts Centre, Humberstone Gate from 19:30.

We are hoping to broaden our base to even more union branches and other groups but our branch will remain prominent.

We will be ready to fight back. It's time to join us.
