Making N30 a Festival of Resistance to cuts96Share

The Trade Union Congress (TUC) has called a Day of Action for pensions justice on Wednesday November 30. Up to 3 million public sector workers from 20 unions are expected to take part in the biggest strike since the General Strike in 1926.

The formal dispute is over public sector pensions (well-explained here http://pensionsjustice.org.uk/the_attack_on_pensions ). But it is clear that November 30th also represents a fundamental challenge to the cuts and privatisation programme of the ConDem Government.

The Coalition of Resistance (CoR) has called for the maximum possible co-ordinated strike action. In addition, we want all anti-cuts committees and activists, whether in a union or not, to pull out all the stops to turn November 30th into a Festival of Resistance, with pensioners, students and unemployed people joining together in a massive day of defence for jobs, the NHS, the Welfare State, and free education.
