Playgrounds Protest

A sizeable, noisy protest to try & save Leicester's adventure playgrounds which are facing a halving in their funding. The protest has the support of the Trades Council & Leicestershire Against Cuts. PCS DWP Leicestershire Branch is affiliated to both. 

 

Leicester Pride Parade

Well we all got drenched at Leicester Pride but it was a good turnout with lots of support from the general public. I carried the Trades Council banner to a soggy Vicky Park. LGBT issues are still trade union issues.  

NHS Issues

Leicester & District Trades Union Council (L&DTUC) were campaigning to retain the Glenfield heart unit & a properly funded & publically owned and run NHS. 

 

Save Glenfield Heart Unit

I'm out campaigning with Leicestershire Againt Cuts (LAC) at the clock tower. 

 

Save the Vaughan Centre

Leicester University are trying to close the Vaughan Centre, an adult education centre founded to give working people an education. It still does this. It's really well attended.

  

Education March

The NUT representing schools and the UCU representing universities are on strike today. The whole education system from pre-school through all the age groups up to and including university education is under attack. It's up to all of us to defend it.  

Jo Cox Vigil

Members of the branch attended the vigil for Jo Cox MP at the clock tower in Leicester. It seems she was murdered by a far right terrorist. PCS will continue to fight against racism & fascism & will defend our members & the wider labour movement as far as we are able. An injury to one is an injury to all.
