You are invited to join Paul Mackney (former General Secretary of NAFTHE) at our next public meeting; ‘Solidarity Versus Austerity: Report back from Greece‘ – Thursday 26 April, 7pm at St john’s Church Hall, 30 Grainger Street, Newcastle. NE1 5JG (hot and cold refreshments and wheelchair accesible toilet available).
This event will see Paul give an illustrated report back from the recent trade union solidarity delegation to Greece (organized jointly by Coaltion of Resistance and The Peoples Charter) and will help raise funds towards Coalition of Resistance’s Greek Solidarity Campaign
‘Greece is at the cutting edge of the austerity measures that are being introduced across Europe‘ -Tony Benn, Appeal for Solidarity with the people of Greece (sign it here)
The delegation saw representatives from Britain’s trade unions and campaign groups meet with anti-austerity MPs from all parties of the left and with all the main trades unions. It also visited many of the increasing number of occupations and strikes now in progress there, including the long running steel workers strike, the Elefterotipia newspaper occupation and the hospital under workers’ control at Kilkis.- read the full story here
