Climate justice and workers’ rights movements are uniting to make the rich pay for our transition to a green economy, writes assistant general secretary of PCS JOHN MOLONEY, ahead of a major demonstration on September 20

TODAY some 500,000 members of the National Education Union, PCS, Aslef and UCU will join together on picket lines and protests across the country to demand a decent wage and respect amid the cost-of-living crisis.
They are also striking to defend education and the other services they provide to the public.
On the same day we will be supporting the TUC’s demands to defend the right to strike in the face of the government’s latest round of attacks on our ability to organise effective industrial action.

We must organise broad-based counterprotests and celebratory local community events to rebuild class consciousness and challenge the far-right’s divisive lies, writes KEVIN COURTNEY, ahead of this Saturday’s big demo in London
