NORTH STAFFS TRADES UNION COUNCIL PUBLIC MEETING AGAINST THE CUTS!

On Wednesday 14 July North Staffs TUC agreed to organise an anti-cuts public meeting after it was suggested by Socialist Party members.  The aim of this important public meeting on 18 August will be to launch a united Anti-Cuts campaign to fight against all cuts that the Con-Dem Coalition government and local councils are trying to impose against the will of the majority of ordinary working class people.

Socialist Party Organiser, Andy Bentley, told the TUC meeting how,

“Stoke Socialist Party members have already done over 30 campaigning stalls over the last eight weeks in Hanley, Longton, Shelton, Crewe and Stafford building support for an organised and united fightback against all the planned cuts to jobs, public services, benefits and pensions. On these stalls we have spoken to more than 3000 people extremely angry at the cuts – including young people, pensioners, workers and the unemployed. Most agreed with us that we need a massive campaign including public meetings, marches, demonstrations and strike action where necessary to stop the cuts”

One of the most important roles of these campaigning stalls is to explain to people that, despite what politicians, top bankers, bosses and the mass media tell us, there is an alternative to THEIR aim of making the working class pay for a crisis THEY have created.

 The Socialist Party says, make the rich pay instead!

 Last year, in a period of recession where hundreds of thousands of workers lost their jobs, the richest 1000 people in Britain INCREASED their wealth by a staggering £77 billion. They now have £340 billion in total stashed away and are still raking it in!

 The Socialist Party says, build a massive campaign of opposition to force the government to stop these savage cuts!

 

 ORGANISE TO DEFEND OUR JOBS & PUBLIC SERVICES!
