The build-up to N30 is in full swing
The build up to November 30 is in full swing. There are 34 days until the biggest public sector mass strike this country has seen for decades.
The UNISON ballot is in its final week. Unite ballot papers have been sent out. The GMB ballot opens on the 31st October.
NASUWT ballot opens on 4th November.
The UCU, PCS, NUT and ATL unions all have live ballots and are preparing for the November 30.
The mood of resistance in the workplaces isn’t just in the public sector – sparks are flying every Wednesday as electricians fight the attacks on their JIB agreement. BFAWU members in Park Cakes have voted to strike.
November 30 can be a turning point for resistance to the Con-Dems. Right to Work calls on every supporter to get involved in building for the strikes and protests on the day.
