by Gill George, Keep Hackney NHS Public

We've had a stunning victory over the Government's plans to privatise huge chunks of the NHS - you have probably seen the media coverage over the last two days. The Government is in real disarray over the NHS - and much of the credit goes to local Hackney activists!

Come and show your support to Hackney's local government workers striking against attacks on their pension rights. Speakers will include local officers and stewards from all three Council trade unions, plus others offering support from across the labour movement.

MASSIVE STRIKE DAY LOOMING OVER CUTS TO LOCAL GOVERNMENT PENSIONS

Over one million of the country's most essential public sector workers will go on strike on 28 March to protest at unfair and unjust cuts to local government pensions, the Joint Union Strike Team (JUST) announced today. The strike is planned because the Government refuses to give protection for existing members of their pension scheme.
