NSSN 521: Come to NSSN Zoom Public Meeting February 14

February 9, 2021 in Bulletins

2021 has started with a bang, with teachers and school support staff in the NEU and Unison forcing Boris Johnson’s Tory government to retreat on the re-opening of schools. In the last two weeks, the Tories have had to u-turn over their proposed review of employment laws and regulations post-Brexit. Unions now need to come together immediately to draw on this template to fight for workplace safety in all sectors and stop the offensive by the Tories and the bosses to make workers pay for the COVID crisis with our lives and livelihoods.

NSSN 279: #KillTheBill – Stop Tory Cuts, Defend Unions

February 9, 2016 in Bulletins

The NSSN has produced a new leaflet for the TUC’s #heartunions week of action – this is the text:- Straight after last May’s election, Cameron moved his plans to bring in his (anti) Trade Union Bill at the same time that Osborne set out the next wave of brutal Tory cuts. Now as the Bill makes its way through both houses of Parliament, councils are setting new cuts budgets while a new cull of civil service office closures, privatisations and redundancies are announced. This is not accidental. The Tories fully understand that the unions with 6million members are potentially the […]
