Who we are and why we are standing

SOLIDARITY: For united action against the bosses; for joint action with other public sector unions to defend pay and conditions.

WORKERS’ RIGHTS: For resistance to bosses seeking to cut pay and conditions, for defence of our union against derecognition; for a campaigning, fighting union.
