From Swansea Trades Council Press release...
Swansea Trades Council May Day March & Rally
Swansea’s traditional celebration of workers’ struggle and
unity takes place this Saturday.
May Day March & Rally
This Saturday, April 28th
Assemble at Guildhall at 12:00
March to Castle Square for Rally
Disabled people who work
for Remploy are in a desperate fight to save their jobs and factories. &
out of the 9 factories in Wales are threatened with closure this summer,
including the plant in Fforestfach. Swansea Remploy workers will be heading the
march on Saturday. Come along
and show your support!
“With jobs in
jeopardy, benefits being cut, and no possibility of employment, Remploy workers
have no alternative but to fight. Remploy factories are not for sale or
closure.”
“It’s
acceptable to bankroll RBS but not Remploy. This shows that this is all about
cuts saving and austerity and not about helping get more disabled workers into
work.”
Les Woodward,
Remploy Trade Union Convenor
Save Remploy!
Defend Pensions! Support those unions taking strike action on May 10th!
Fight the cuts!
“This Con-Dem government of millionaires and
for millionaires threatens disaster for working class communities like ours. Privatisation
and destruction of public services and for the workers that provide those
services, pay freezes, attacks on pensions and now regional pay.
But they can be
beaten. The huge strike of November 30 showed that trade unionists have it in
their power to defeat the cuts and defeat this government, if we stand
together. Support the May Day march to show solidarity with Remploy workers and
with trade unionists planning to take strike action on May 10.”
Ronnie Job
(Secretary, Swansea Trades Council)
