FOLLOWING a meeting on Thursday, June 25 a local support group was set up to aid the railworkers in their dispute.
The railworkers are seeking:
decent pay and conditions
an increase for all grades
dignity and respect at work
a fair deal from re-structuring.
These demands are in response to the dire effects of privatisation, and the years of neglect prior to privatisation.
We ask everyone to support the railworkers by:
writing a letter to your local MP/councillor
donating to hardship funds
bringing the railworkers' demands to the attention of friends and colleagues
joining the support group
attending the next meeting: 7.30pm, Thursday, July 9 at Lancaster and Morecambe Trades Council, 178a Lancaster Road, Morecambe. Tel: 413600.
