Workers Memorial Day: Join Us !

Members of Eastbourne Trades Council will be in Eastbourne Town Centre on Saturday morning, marking Workers' Memorial Day.

We will be handing out information about WMD, about current threats to safety at work, and asking Eastbourne people to sign a memorial card for all those workers who have died at work or as a result of their jobs.

If you are able to join us, we will be meeting at Bankers Corner from 10.00am until noon. Or, if you are in town- just come along, say hello and sign the card.

Trades Councils in the Community

Your union branch speaks up for your members and potentialmembers in the workplace. Whether it’s pay, rights at work, healthand safety or lifelong learning, your branch exists to get a better dealfor your members.

Unions also need to raise their voice in the world beyond the workplace when:
• the public services delivered and used by union members come under threat
• racists and fascists try to divide local communities
• local authorities seek to reduce democratic control of education or housing.

That’s where your local trades union council comes in. Trades councils bringtogether local union branches to campaign across a community on issuesthat matter to working people.

Facing closure?: Your trades council can provide practical support and solidarity.
Tackling racism? Your trades council can help unite local people against the haters.
Privatisation problems? Your trades council can help campaign for public ownership and democratic control.

Eastbourne Trades Council represents workers in public and private sector employment across the Borough of Eastbourne and the parish of Willingdon and Jevington.
