Celebrating, Not Dividing

The following has bee provided by PCS NW Regional Office:

Unite the Union are working with anti-racist/fascist groups and a number of other unions, including PCS, to stage a national march and rally under the theme “Celebrating, Not Dividing” in Liverpool on Saturday 12th October.

This follows a resurgence in far-right activity across Merseyside including threats to Muslim and Irish communities and the targeting of local trade union activists. Details are still the subject of negotiation with Merseyside Police but the organisers are planning for an event 5,000 strong.

Mark Serwotka is a confirmed speaker.

The details we do have are as follows:
  • Assemble: City centre location (TBC), at 12 Noon
  • Move off: 1pm
  • Rally: 2pm at the Pier Head
Please bring this to the attention of your colleagues and encourage a strong PCS presence.

Reasonable assistance with travel costs is available from the North West Regional Office if registering in advance and subject to a limited budget.

To register, please email nwrc@pcs.org.uk with details of your claim no later than Wednesday 11th September.
