Dear Colleagues

 

Constituency Protests - Anti-strike law – Protest the Minimum Service Levels Bill – Saturday 14^th January – 11am

 

This week the Government tabled legislation that launches a fundamental attack on our democratic and human rights to withdraw our labour. The Strikes (Minimum Service Levels) Bill will give the Secretary of State for Business the power to set Minimum Service Levels following “consultation” across six different sectors including Transport, Health, Fire and Rescue, Education, Nuclear and Border Security.

 

We are already planning an emergency demo on Monday 16^th at 6pm outside 10 Downing Street but this weekend we will also be heading to the constituencies of key Tory MPs to send a clear message that we will fight these attacks on our fundamental right to strike and withdraw our labour.
