CWU SUPPORT FOR PEOPLE’S ASSEMBLY MAJOR NATIONAL DEMONSTRATION

CWU SUPPORT FOR PEOPLE’S ASSEMBLY MAJOR NATIONAL DEMONSTRATION
1PM SATURDAY – 16TH APRIL‎ – LONDON
The CWU and TUC affiliated unions are fully supporting the People’s Assembly’s major national demonstration for Health, Homes, Jobs & Education in London on Saturday 16th April. 
Alongside the Trade Union Bill, on each of these four issues working people are under ‎attack from the Government and it is important that the labour movement makes clear the strength of opposition to the austerity agenda. This is also an opportunity to express solidarity with junior doctors and steel-workers who will be taking part. 
I would urge all CWU Branches to make this a priority commitment and ensure their attendance at the demonstration and publicise it among CWU members as widely as possible.
The CWU has been at the forefront in calling for a new deal for workers in the UK and maximising our attendance at this demonstration is another step towards achieving this objective.
The demonstration will assemble on Gower Street at 1pm and march to Trafalgar Square. The CWU will have a bloc on the march (bloc 6) which we would ask branches to join. 
We would also encourage branches to affiliate to the People’s Assembly – the form for doing so is attached to this letter. Further information is available at http://www.thepeoplesassembly.org.uk/hhje and the flyer for Saturday’s demonstration is attached to this LTB. 
 
Yours sincerely
 
Dave Ward
General Secretary
