"You may be aware that had the M28 national action gone ahead, we had intended to hold a protest in Knutsford, Cheshire - the Tatton Constituency of Chancellor George Osborne. PCS was seeking to hold similar events in the constituencies of Cameron, Clegg, Maude and others in conjunction with the NUT, UCU and Unite.
Now that the action is postponed and in order to maintain momentum, the NEC have asked regions to arrange similar protests in the week following Easter and during the Parliamentary recess when MPs might be in their constituencies.
Accordingly, we have made tentative arrangements for such a protest on the afternoon of Wednesday 11th April.
We are conscious that this is a working day for many. However, teachers and lecturers will be available owing to Easter holidays and many members will be available on a similar basis. Families are welcome to attend. Activists may be required to use a half-day annual leave or flexi where such arrangements exist to leave workplaces at lunchtime in order to attend.
Subject to confirmed numbers we will provide transport as follows:
- Blackpool > Preston > Wigan > Knutsford
- Liverpool > Warrington > Knutsford
- Manchester > Stockport > Knutsford
This will be an important event which represents a new tactic in that it takes the campaign directly to the door (almost literally) of the individuals directly responsible for creating the many challenges we face. We therefore hope you can provide a strong level of support."
If anyone would like to support this event, please contact the Branch Secretary by email who is collating numbers for NWRO.
