Members Asked to Support Public Services

Rally for Public Services - 30th January 2010 - Liverpool
Paul McCarthy (Regional Secretary) is calling for all GMB members to show their support for our Public Services workers in the region. A rally has been organised for Saturday 30th January 2010, where National President Mary Turner will be speaking, along with a number of other invited speakers.
Working people and their families are being told that as a result of the greed of bankers and corporate executives everyone must now 'pay' for the economic crisis.
We reject the notion that the solution to the economic crisis, and the accumulating national debt, is to attack public services, freeze pay, increase privitisation and cut pensions and benefits.
Good quality public services are delivered every day by GMB members and their colleagues who are dedicated to what they do and who believe in social justice.
As trade unionists representing workers in both the public and private sector we recognise the need for economic policies which help not hinder working people and their families.
