EVERY available trade unionist needs to be outside a hospital with “delegations and banners” when nurses take strike action on December 15 and 20, a nurses’ rep told the Campaign for Trade Union Freedom conference on Saturday.
The From Pentonville to P&O: Union Rights and Tory Wrongs meeting at the National Education Union HQ in London’s Kings Cross saw hundreds of activists meet to discuss existing and threatened attacks on unions and the current strike wave.
Dave Carr, a Unite rep working in the NHS, said health workers had lived with “reorganisation after reorganisation after reorganisation” in recent years, “a calamity of mismanagement and attacks.”
Since 2023, Strike Map has evolved from digital mapping at a national level to organising ‘mega pickets’ — we believe that mass solidarity with localised disputes prepares the ground for future national action, writes HENRY FOWLER
