BRENT GREEN PARTY SENDS SUPPORT TO STRIKING TEACHERS
The news
that National Education Union members in Brent will be striking on February 1st
is welcomed by Brent Green Party, who together with the Green Party of England Wales as a whole,
support all workers taking part in the current strike actions.
We recognise
that NEU members are making just claims for pay increases that at least give
some respite from the pressures of inflation which is outpacing the incomes of
many except wealthy cabinet ministers and donors to Tory party coffers.
We know that
the issue is not just pay, the NEU strikes and others are in defence of proper public
provision in such vital areas such as education, health and transport. A viable
low carbon economy can only be built on these foundations, so the strikes of
the NEU members in Brent and many other trade unionists are an important part
of wider struggles which are vital to us all.
SOLIDARITY
TO THE NEU! SOLIDARITY TO STRIKERS!
