Join us at Ridley Road Market, junction with Kingsland Road, Dalston.

Protest at Royal Mail offices, Rathbone Place London W1T 1JN.

On Wednesday 28 October, trade unionists in Hackney gathered to discuss how we can support the postal workers in their long-running dispute.

Postal workers told us repeatedly that they were in favour of modernisation; what they were not prepared to put up with was being reduced to packhorses with ever increasing rounds.

Meet at Ridley Road market, Dalston, to help build support for striking postal workers.

Meeting for all trade unionists in Hackney

Venue: Bodrum Café & Bar, 61 Stoke Newington High Street, Stoke Newington, N16 8EL

Please come along and find out what you can do to support your local postal workers. There will be speakers from the CWU and from other local trade unionists who are currently in dispute.

SPECIALIST TRANSPORT union RMT today pledged its full support for the CWU postal workers in their fight for a secure future and decent pay and conditions and a delegation from the union, including General Secretary Bob Crow, will be joining the picket line at Mount Pleasant sorting office on Thursday (22nd October) at 4.30pm.

At 10.00am management from Thomas Cook arrived at shops in Dublin to enforce closure. Members refused and are now occupying the shops. The context to this dispute is a company that seeks to consolidate and increase profits through the closure of more than 100 shops, the closures in Dublin fly in the face of these shops making more than £400 million profit during 2008.

NUT members at Haggerston School in Hackney are to strike next week on Thursday 9th July against proposed redundancies.

This follows an outstanding ballot result with a 100% turnout! 37 ballot papers issued, 37 returned. 36 in favour of discontinuous strike action, 1 against.
