The National Shop Stewards Network has a proud record of mobilising the rank and file of the trade union movement to put demands on the TUC for the fighting programme that is needed by workers. The 12th NSSN annual lobby of the TUC will take place at noon on 12th September. PCS is one of the many unions affiliated to the NSSN. And we recognise the important role the NSSN has in supporting PCS members whenever they are in dispute and on picket lines.
The lobby will be virtual again this year with the TUC congress also taking place online. It will be an open forum for union reps to have our say from the fight for workplace safety, to defending our jobs and hard won pay and conditions, to stopping yet more attacks and privatisation of the NHS. The BLN is encouraging PCS reps to attend this lobby to have our say in building the resistance to the attacks.
It has never been so important to build the fight back to the attacks. The pandemic has seen workers fight for their lives and increasingly our livelihoods as bosses and the Government unleash an offensive to make us pay for the crisis, including the public sector pay freeze, cuts in our living standards, attacks on our services, putting our members at risk, as well as the widespread attack on jobs and conditions with fire and rehire and union busting. This is a great opportunity to get union reps together from all the unions fighting the government’s attacks on our pay across the public sector and work to build a coordinated campaign to meet our demands for a full pay rise to address the years of pay restraint.
Workers are fighting back, with a strike wave that has seen important victories. Come and hear about the action that is taking place from union leaders and shopfloor workers on the front line who are leading the fightback.
