BAN IMPOSED ON FOUR

Following the mitigation hearings Glenn Kelly (Bromley), Suzanne Muna (Housing Association), Onay Kasab (Greenwich) and Brian Debus (Hackney) have all been banned from holding any office in Unison.

Early this morning (5th March) UNISON officials turned up at the UNISON offices of the Bromley, Greenwich and the Housing Association having given no notice; we are awaiting an update from Hackney. The officials have attempted to confiscate computer hard drives and other resources, which include important documents on on-going personal cases.

The first session of Hackney’s ‘workers advice project' took place on Saturday 13 February. The Project is part of the Hackney Unites initiative of which Hackney TUC is a founding member.

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.

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.
