Helen, 3rd from the left, getting ready to chair the meeting last night
I went to the very well attended meeting organised by the Trade Union alliance in Barnet last night which has been set up to fight the cuts. The hall was full of trade unionists, residents and community campaigners so it is good to see that Barnet Unison is ready for the fight of a life time. Proposals to turn the borough into an Easy jet style corporation will be resisted at all levels by both Unison and the GMB. I think there were more than 200 people in the hall and they all looked determined not to allow this government to destroy what working people build up in the last century with sweat and blood.
Also good to see that at the other end of London and my own old branch Lambeth Unison is organising to fight the cuts with a major demonstration on the 30 October. This is indeed the time to unite and fight!
