HTUC will hold its annual general meeting on Wednesday 24 Feburary between 7-8pm at the Cafe Z bar on Stoke Newington High Street (opposite the police station).

It is open to all but only current delegates to HTUC will be allowed to vote.

Hackney TUC has received the following letter from the Hackney Solidarity Network ...

Hackney Solidarity Network was set up in early 2008 to help local campaigning groups network and so to increase their effectiveness, on the basis that the more we work together the stronger we are. Over the last two years HSN has developed to the extent that we are at a stage where the current organisers believe we should formalise how we work.

Please come along to support Brian on the first day of his appeal hearing. This is the final hearing and completes UNISON's internal disciplinary process. It will determine whether or not the bans of 3 years for Kas and Glenn, 4 years for Suz and 5 years for Brian are imposed.

Hackney Community Transport (now CTPlus service) will be on strike next Friday 27 November and Hackney TUC will do what it can to support our colleagues in their dispute.
