Come along to this briefing to find out what you can do to help us win in Liverpool. Caroline, Sam, Laura and Joe from the L4ND team will talk you through conference processes – and crucially how we can best engage with them. Hope you can make it!

Start: Wednesday, September 21, 2022 • 7:00 PM • British Summer Time (GMT+01:00)

Chair: Ruth Hayes, Unite EC & Labour Women’s Committee.
Join us to hear from unions in dispute on the central importance of their struggles, left MPs and other vital campaigns to put public need before corporate greed – and discuss how we build on a summer of strikes and solidarity in the period ahead.
Boris Johnson may be going but the disastrous policies of austerity and scapegoating remain. Now is the time to build the resistance against the Tories’ offensive, including through backing those workers taking industrial action to protect jobs and livelihoods, whilst popularising progressive solutions to the cost-of-living crisis.
Free event. Refreshments provided.

Defend our right to strike & resist! LAAA @ #TWT22
2022-09-27 16:30 - 18:00
Kevin Courtney, NEU GS // Olivia Blake MP // Mick Whelan, ASLEF GS // Andrea Egan. UNISON President // Chantelle Lunt, BLM & Kill the Bill // Nabeela Mowlana, Young Labour.

As inflation and energy bills skyrocket and wages hit rock bottom, we’re seeing a huge wave of resistance through strikes and civil disobedience. Having failed to offer any answers to the rocketing cost of living, the Tories resort to divide and rule – pitting worker against worker with racism or a race to the bottom logic on pay and conditions. Now, building on decades of anti-trade union legislation, they’re proposing fresh attacks on the right to strike, while further dismantling our right to protest. Join us to debate how we defend our right to resist and build the fightback.

Autumn of action

The government has failed to deal with a cost-of-living crisis of its own making. They dithered and delayed while living standards plummeted. And now they prioritise tax cuts for the rich and attacking trade unions over taking action to support struggling workers.
It’s time for a new deal for working people. We need help with energy bills, a £15 national minimum wage and a real pay rise for every worker. And we need our rights as workers to be strengthened, not watered down.
Only working people can deliver this change – so this autumn, we’re taking action.
We’re holding town hall meetings in every region of England and in Wales. In the Midlands, we have rallies in Corby, Coventry and Northampton.
We are coming together to demand better. Join union leaders and local campaigners at one of our town hall events to discuss how we come together to win a new deal for working people!
