Britain Needs a Pay Rise National Demonstration

Dear Colleagues

Britain Needs a Pay Rise London Demonstration- taking place on Saturday October 18th 2014.

This March and rally will take place 7 months before the next general
election and it is crucial that we get as many people onto the streets
to demonstrate against the dominant view that austerity is the only
answer. What the people of this country need are decent living
standards achieved by proper jobs on wages that don’t create poverty.

The 18th of October is our opportunity to add our voices to an
alternative that offers hope to millions and not just the few.

The Britain Needs a Pay Rise demo has been organised by the TUC and
is calling for a properly enforced minimum wage, higher wages from
employers who can afford to pay, increased commitment to the living
wage and a crackdown on excessive executive pay.

The march will assemble on the Embankment from 11am and move off at
noon heading to a rally at Hyde Park via Northumberland Avenue,
Trafalgar Square and Piccadilly. The march will not be passing
Westminster or Downing Street as it is a slightly shorter route than
previous marches this is to allow as many people as possible to get to
Hyde Park in time for the rally.

Any enquiries should be forwarded to the SDGS Department
at sdgs@cwu.org quoting reference GS13.5

Yours sincerely
Tony Kearns
Senior Deputy General Secretary
