NSSN 271: Junior Doctors force Tories back

NSSN 271: Junior Doctors force Tories back

At the last minute, facing a strike that had already seen over 3,000 operations and 17,500 appointments cancelled, the Tories stepped back from the brink and withdrew the immediate threat of the imposition of new contracts for junior doctors. As a result, the BMA suspended the three days of industrial action on December 1, 8 and 16. Negotiations will now continue but if junior doctors don’t get what they want by January 13th, action can be put back on.

The NSSN sends solidarity to the junior doctors and the BMA. We appeal to all our supporters to support any action that they take if needed – strikes, demonstrations or protests. Scandalously, Tory Health Minister Jeremy Hunt had called for striking doctors to be ‘struck off’. Email messages of support to [email protected]

BMA members will decide what happens next. But this turn of events after an excellent campaign by tens of thousands of junior doctors, supported by other NHS workers and the overwhelming majority of the public surely shows what could be achieved if all health unions took action together.

Support the Junior Doctors! Defend the NHS!

The company have put forward a business case which states that the current downturn in the bread market and a long term forecast of ‘no change’ has led to this decision. However, the site will continue to manufacture crumpets and be a distribution point for bread products made at other sites around the country read more.   Please send solidarity messages to Hovis Wigan branch – [email protected]

 

CWU

Support the #CWU2 – reinstate Clive Walder & John Vasey!

Clive Walder, a longstanding leading rep in the CWU had an appeal against unfair dismissal rejected by British Telecom on 9 November, confirming his sacking after 38 years of service. Clive is chair of the CWU Birmingham, Black Country & Worcester branch.

Clive worked in a BT call centre and was dismissed after an aggressive customer reported him to management just 33 seconds into a phone call. The decision was made without taking stress into account despite the local CWU branch reporting that 7% of staff at the call centre leave their jobs each month, some walking out mid shift. Management took the decision without consulting any medical advice or taking into account any mitigation.

Clive is a NSSN steering committee member and we will be supporting the campaign protesting the sacking and campaigning for his reinstatement.

Contact Clive to send messages of support and invite him to your union branch, shop stewards committee, trades council etc – [email protected] 07771931185

 

John Vasey, a CWU postal rep in Wakefield, West Yorkshire has also been sacked on what his work colleagues recognise as stitched up charges. John is waiting for the outcome of his appeal that took place earlier this week. The NSSN calls on all our supporters and affiliates to support John’s campaign for reinstatement and his union the CWU:-

Demo at Clapham Common station to kick off the camapign to stop London Underground targeting Glen because of his Trade Union activities – Meet outside Clapham Common Station at 0800 on Wednesday December 9. London Underground bosses could face a London-wide Tube strike by RMT union members if they proceed with disciplinary action against union activist Glen Hart. Bosses tried to sack Glen last year during strikes over cuts to stations. He followed union instructions not to work overtime and closed his station because there was no relief. But bosses could not sack Glen because there was no evidence he did anything wrong. Now, bosses have laid new trumped up charges against Glen for allegedly being rude to a manager. There are no witnesses and no evidence. Glen has fought tirelessly to oppose Tube bosses’ attacks. The RMT says if the charges are not dropped it will ballot all grades for industrial action.

Unite

‘Pensions not paid at Northamptonshire boat builders for three months’, claims Unite (1 Dec) – Northamptonshire luxury boat builders Fairline Boats has not paid its pension contributions for the 468-strong workforce for three months, Unite, the country’s largest union, claimed today (Tuesday 1 December), as the fate of the company remains cloaked in management silence and evasion.  The future of the firm, since its recent takeover by private equity firm Wessex Bristol, has been plagued by about 185 lay-offs; a company refusal to talk to the local MP Tom Pursglove; and, it is claimed, the failure of the firm to make any pension contributions for the last three months, although money had been deducted from staff wages read more

Huddersfield Bus Strike – On 30 November, Huddersfield First UK Bus drivers took one-day strike action in protest at management’s decision to tear up a local pay agreement dating back to April. Unite the Union balloted members and got a 92% vote for strike action after a 97% turnout. Despite last minute talks at ACAS with the union offering certain compromise suggestions, the company refused to negotiate. They then sent a threatening letter to Unite telling the union that it would be fined £500,000 if the strike went ahead. This was followed with an individual letter to every driver’s home address before the strike, arguing their action was illegal!  Despite these bully boy tactics, the strike was solid with only one driver reporting for work. Pickets were out in force in freezing temperatures. Further strikes are planned if the company does not relent. Huddersfield was brought to a traffic standstill as most buses were off the road.

PCS

Strong start to rolling action across DVSA (1 Dec) – There was a strong start to 4 days of rolling regional strike action by PCS members in the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency. Our members in the DVSA took part in two days of strike action last month against their employer’s plans to press ahead with plans to extend the working day and increase the number of driving tests examiners would be expected to carry out. We believe this poses a serious risk to road safety. Last week the employer ramped up attacks on staff. As part of the dispute members were asked to take action short of strike, including a work to rule and overtime ban, until it is resolved. DVSA is now threatening to dock members’ pay and even send them home every time they follow the work to rule. Given this threat it was clear that our action had to be escalated read more

Invitation to the “No Human is Illegal” meeting on 9 December 2015 at 18:30 at the Houses of Parliament

As Day-Mer Turkish and Kurdish Community Centre we believe that refugees from around the world should be treated with dignity and respect. We recently visited the refugees at the Calais “jungle” and were saddened by the atrocious conditions we observed. What we saw has strengthened our resolve to work with community groups, trade unions and charities as well as our elected representatives in councils and in Parliament to raise awareness of the plight of the refugees and seek a resolution to the crisis. We understand that the resolution of the refugee crisis requires a collective effort, and we are grateful for the support of Kate Osamor MP, who will be hosting a meeting at the Houses of Parliament to discuss how we can work together better to alleviate the inhumane conditions in Calais and seek a sustainable long term solution to the issue.

The meeting will take place on 9 December 2015 at 18:30 at room Conference Room 6 at the Houses of Parliament, and we would be honoured if you were available to join us. I would be grateful if you could please let us know your availability to attend by either emailing me or by registering on Eventbrite using the link here

Blacklist Support Group Update – 27th November 2015

  1. Women activists win major breakthrough in undercover policing scandal

The Met Police have apologised publicly to the women activists who were deceived into long term relationships with undercover police officers. Until now the police would ‘Neither Confirm Nor Deny’ whether the men involved were even police officers. The apology is a major breakthrough and should be read by everybody on the ‘Spies Out of Lives’ website. The apology from the Met Police to the women activists should set the tone for the kind of apology blacklisted workers should expect from the construction employers.

The institutional sexism of the police and the detail of the abuse will be investigated fully by the Pitchford Inquiry into Undercover policing of which the women are all ‘core participants’. The fight by these women activists against the might of the British secret state is heroic. They are an inspiration to our movement and the Blacklist Support Group are honoured to have worked alongside the campaign. Helen Steel and other women activists also appear on the construction industry blacklist. We are immensely proud of you all.
