CWU support for November 30 strikes
CWU is sending support and solidarity to public sector workers
on strike today (Wednesday). Activists across the country have
visited picket lines, rallies and marches with union officials
speaking at a number of rallies across the UK.
Billy Hayes, CWU general secretary, said: "Today's strikes are a demonstration that the Coalition Government has lost the debate on austerity. Instead, millions of workers, a majority of whom are women, are demanding a change of course from government.
"It is gross hypocrisy to demand that low-paid workers should pay more, receive less and work longer for their pension while the Coalition Government's FTSE 100 friends receive an income 145 times the average salary, according to the High Pay Commission. This is a government of the 1%, not the 99%."
