CWU Defending jobs in Stoke-on-Trent

Lee Baron

The Communication Workers Union is organising a march and rally to oppose the loss of jobs in the Stoke-on-Trent area.


Lee Baron, CWU Regional Secretary and Chair of the Midlands TUC said, "This demonstration is being organised to defend the 400 threatened jobs at the Royal Mail Customer Service Centre along with other job losses in the public sector. Our campaign is aligned with community campaigns which stand against far right organisations. The far right seek to exploit job losses and service cuts for their own warped political agenda. With 17 openly fascist candidates standing we must ensure that we take the real opportunity these elections provide for trade unionists to stand shoulder to shoulder with communities in opposing job losses and cuts, whilst making the statement that far right political parties are not the answer.


Oppose the plans to close the Royal Mail Customer Service Centre
Stand up for local jobs
Stand together with our communities
Saturday 30th April 2011. March assembles from 1pm at Cannon Street, Hanley, ST1 4EB

Speakers for the Rally: Christine Blower, General Secretary NUT: Billy Hayes General Secretary, CWU. Other speakers from Community Groups, Anti Fascist Organisations and Trade Unions.

Come and join us and march for an alternative!
