Sign and March for the DGH

Eastbourne Trades Council is proud to be supporting the Save the DGH Campaign- opposing cuts to core services at our local NHS hospital, and fighting for the return of the "temporarily" closed Consultant-led Maternity Services.

Please help in three ways:

SIGN- The campaign is adding signatures to the World's Biggest Postcard, demanding the return of full maternity services to Eastbourne DGH. The signatures are being collected and then will be stuck to the card: you can download a signature sheet here- and get all of your friends and colleagues to sign !

MARCH- There will be a protest march around the outside of the Hospital on Saturday 7th September, leaving at 10.00am from the Sussex Downs College front field (in Kings Drive) Children and pushchairs are welcome !

SUPPORT the Trades Council's Trade Unionists for the DGH and our NHS campaign. We are asking local trade union members and reps to publicly express their support for the campaign- by signing up here.

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.
