Justice Under Stress - Rally 9 June

The Justice Unions’ Group is organising a rally and lobby of Parliament on Monday 9th June from 14.30 to 16.30 in Committee Room 14 of the House of Commons.

This unique event will bring together members from the justice unionsPOA, PCS and Napo to make MPs aware of joint concerns
- attacks on pay and conditions
- cutbacks to services
- creeping privatisation
- and the impact of all three on service delivery

Speakers at the Rally include:
Neil Garrard MP
Baroness Gibson
David Howarth MP
Lord Ramsbotham
Edward Garnier MP
Tony Benn
Elfyn Llwyd MP
Judy McKnight
David Drew MP
Lord Graham
Dianne Abbott MP
Chris Huhne MP
Ben Priestley, Unison
John McDonnell MP

Branches - particularly branches local to London - have been invited to send delegations to the rally. Please let your branch know if you are interested in going.

The Justice Under Stress event is planned to coincide with the TUC’s Speak Up For Public Services lobby on public sector pay which is being held from 12.30 to 14.30 in Central Hall Westminster.

This event is not planned as a mass rally but rather a representative lobby, however members attending the Justice Under Stress Rally, who can get to London for 12.00 are welcome to aattend the TUC rally also.

More information will be sent out to branches in the coming weeks.
