Dear colleague,

Trade unions and the fight against unemployment: panel discussions at the Marx Memorial Library

As we accelerate our own campaign against the threat to jobs in our industry, it’s important that we learn lessons from our history and ensure that our struggle is united with those of workers in other sectors. The Marx Memorial Library are organising two panel discussions on the subject of how unions fight against the threat of unemployment, combining industrial relations experts and union activists. Registration is free and I would encourage you to register and ask you to circulate the details to your members. The full details are below.
