TUC refuse to call national demonstration, so we'll do it for them!

Janice Godrich, National President of PCS, called at a meeting of the TUC General Council for a national demonstration against the cuts and although this was supported by the National Union of Teachers and the Communications Workers Union, it was opposed by Unison and Unite and the proposal was defeated. This is a setback, but plans are now being made for a demonstration outside the September TUC conference. Details will be published when available and we will encourage members to attend, in the company of many others. The TUC, the so-called leadership of the British trade unions, need to understand that we are not going to stand by and watch this 'broken-back' coalition Government destroy jobs and services.
