There is an alternative, so TELL A PAL!

by Stephen Low

That’s how UNISON Scotland will mark the European TUC Day of Action against Cuts on 29 September.

We need to get the message out that cuts will damage everybody, that they can be avoided if the wealthy pay their fair share and that job losses in the public sector will cause job losses in the private sector. In short that “There is a better way”.

We should all turn out in support of it in Edinburgh at the STUC demo on 23 October. We need to be getting our members to get the message out about the threats to the services they deliver.

So we’ll be asking stewards and reps to TELL A PAL.

UNISON will be giving people key facts about the importance of services, and why we don’t need cuts, printed postcard size and credit card sizes. They’ll give people the basic knowledge they need to rebut the propaganda from employers and the media that there is no alternative. So that our members will know what is going on and they in turn can TELL A PAL.
