Prepare for N30! Lancaster Rally at Town Hall. November 17th.

Lancaster Town Hall.7pm

Thursday 17th November. 
All Welcome.
Unite the Resistance!

On November 30th Britain could see millions of workers unite in strike action, in what could be an enormous day of protest, and the largest action against government policy so far. Workers are currently balloting for the action across many different unions and services. Millions of us are angry at being robbed of our pensions - the issue that the unions are striking on. But we are not just loosing our right to a decent retirement - we are  seeing jobs and vital services cut - while our children's dreams are crushed and educational futures betrayed. All this to pay for a crisis caused by billionaire bankers who still get richer. We are the 99% - and are sick of the economic dictatorship of the 1%. Millions of people want a chance to hit back at this government of the rich.

On the last day of action this summer, Lancaster saw over 400 local people fill Market square in a carnival of solidarity and resistance. The throng was made up of striking teachers, joined by parents, schoolkids, community groups and also striking civil servants and lecturers. Other groups such as pensioners, students, disbility campaigners, the self employed and carers also joined in. Local prison officers also walked out on strike and held their own rallies. Amidst banners and balloons, music and speeches the people of Lancaster occupied their city centre for a day, making market square into a peoples assembly.

Next time could be much bigger - as now much larger giant general unions representing many millions of workers are organising action for the 30th November.

Lancaster and Morecambe Trades Union Council, LMATC, local union branches and community groups are planning for November 30th. Join in this historic day.

We will have a mass assembly to prepare for this beforehand. This will be held at:

 Lancaster Town Hall.
7pm
Thursday 17th November. 
All Welcome.

Unite the Resistance!
