UPDATE: the hearing has been postponed untill 24 and 25 June due to illness.

'The Four' include Hackney TUC President Brian Debus.

MORE DISCIPLINARY HEARINGS

The next disciplinary hearings for Brian, Glenn, Kas and Suzanne will take place on the 20th and 21st of May in London. A lobby is being organised on the 21st (details below.)

It is possible that these could be the last hearings before a decision is made as to whether charges are made against the four and if so what disciplinary action will be taken against them.

The amount of support that the four have received so far is tremendous and very much appreciated by the four. Many of you have attended all the lobbies and we are asking you to once again turn out on the 21st.

Protest letters to Dave Prentis are also important (please send copies to: info@stopthewitchhunt.org.uk)

GROUNDBREAKING COURT CASE

The Four are taking their case to court to test a European court ruling that states that people cannot be discriminated against on the grounds of “Philisophical Beliefs”. The four are arguing that Unison is discriminating against them because they adhere to distinctive philosophical beliefs (i.e. those of the Socialist Party.)

More updates in future newsletters.

Donations to the campaign are also needed. Please make cheques payable to ‘Stop the witchhunt’, and send to: Defend the Four Campaign, PO Box 858, London, E11 1YG.
