May Day

 

Save Glenfield Children's Heart Unit

A protest is assembling outside the consultation meeting at the Tigers. The Leicester & District Trades Union Council banner is there but most of the people won't get in. 

 

#ourNHS

We've made it to the end of the March with the Leicester & District Trades Union Council banner. The NHS will last as long as there are folk left with the faith to fight for it. 

 

Branch AGM

The Branch AGM took place this week. The room we had was rammed with far too many people standing. We'll have to get a bigger room next year.

We managed to keep our cool while demolishing a box of free samosas.

We elected a new committee who are listed on this page and passed three motions. 

One to protect our members and customers when they are talking and driving. This was particularly timely on the day that penalties doubled for this driving offence.

One was to put literacy and numeracy assessment and help in place for members who wanted it.

Lastly we carried a motion to support our GEC in its strategy to oppose the office closures following the recent People and Locations announcements.

We got an update on what is going on in DWP from a PCS perspective and then we finished on time.

Hopefully I'll see even more of you next year in a larger venue.

Donald Trump State Visit

As leading members of Leicester & District Trades Union Council, this branch will continue to fight against misogyny, racism & Islamophobia. While Donald Trump continues to pursue policies that promote hatred we will campaign against giving him full state honours. 

The branch representatives are proud to be amongst the L&DTUC members to sign the open letter to the Leicester Mercury today. 

 

Glenfield Children's Heart Unit March

I'm proud to be holding the Trades Council banner on the Save Glenfield Children's Heart Unit march.
