Solidarity Committees spring up everywhere

or almost at least. Here’s a few meetings coming up in London, forwarded by a Unison activist active in this growing solidarity movement with our strike:

Battersea and Wandsworth TUC: 7.30 pm 9th November
PCS Headquarters, Falcon Road, Clapham Junction

Lambeth solidarity meeting: 7 pm 2 November
Karibu Centre, 7 Gresham Rd, Brixton

Southwark TUC:6.30 pm 28 October
Unison Office 179 Walworth Rd E&C

This is a great development which will greatly strengthen the strike:

“If solidarity committees are established in every town, city and borough, like those initiated in Bristol and by Brent Trades Council in London, then postal workers would not be isolated but could pull the trade union movement and working class public around them as a shield. These could raise funds and spread the word, pressing the postal workers’ case and puncturing Royal Mail and government spin. Solidarity committees could also begin to coordinate post workers’ action with other strikers, such as college lecturers, refuse workers, firefighters, Fujitsu workers and more, all moving into dispute.” Workers Power bulletin
