CUT TRIDENT NOT JOBS!
The 30th November TUC Day of Action is fast approaching. CND Cymru campaigners will be out on the day taking our Torrwch Trident/Cut Trident message to the public with public sector workers and their supporters. Campaigners will be in Cardiff and across Wales.
3 million public sector workers representing 28 unions will down tools in protest at the unwarranted attack on their
pensions. it will be the largest mass walkout seen in a generation of course, its not just about pensions, its about the pay freeze all are suffering whilst inflation is on the up, the threat to jobs and security and the detrimental effect this is having on our local economies. Already we are seeing closures and job losses, our schools and hospitals are suffering and our students are struggling to make ends meet,now we hear that winter fuel payments to the elderly have been cut by a quarter at a time when energy prices are sky high! This cannot continue!
There will be a Jobs Not Bombs bloc at the London demonstration, showing what a waste of public money Trident is when pensions and jobs are under attack. The Stop the War Coalition will be marching with us to back spending on Welfare not Warfare. We hope that you’ll be able to join us.
