Save the DGH- mobilise on 28th July !

There is a public “consultation” meeting by the hospital trust on the future of services in Eastbourne on Saturday 28th July at the Congress Theatre. Local campaigners from the cross-party Save the DGH Campaign will be mounting a demonstration outside, from 10.00am to show the strength of local support for a full range of services to remain at our local hospital !

Liz Walke has led a superb campaign over many years to protect the ongoing threats to maternity, cardiac and even Accident and Emergency services at our local hospital. The Save the DGH campaign is supported by all three main local political parties, the Trades Council, churches and many other community groups, as well as thousands of individuals in our town.

All local trades unionists are urged to go along on 28th July and show your support- 10.00 am at the Congress Theatre.

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.
