Bristol Trades Council joined 600+ counter-protesters in Bristol yesterday refusing to blame other working-class people, refugees or migrants for lack of housing, poverty pay, insecure jobs and lack of funding into public services, but instead putting the blame fully on the government and bosses!
We handed out leaflet aimed at uniting working-class people around issues we need to fight for in our trade unions:
😡 Worried and angry about poverty pay, insecure work, poor housing and no money in public services?
✅ The government could cap rents, raise the minimum wage to £15/hour and end 0 hour contracts.
✅ Bristol Council could build council homes and invest in public services.
✅ And bosses could be forced to stop boosting profits over employees’ wages and welfare.
✊🏼Division and blame is the bosses’ game! Unite and fight those truly causing the problems we face!
There were banners from UCU, UNISON and the NEU, as well as union members from many other unions, including the PCS, CWU and UNITE amongst others. Fighting racism and all forms of discrimination must be central to trade union campaigns, as we all know: the workers united will never be defeated!
