MARCH TODAY with GMB for our hospital

GMB, representing many staff at Eastbourne DGH. has called a march and rally in Eastbourne today (Saturday) Eastbourne Trades Council is proud to be supporting the march, and urges all trades unionists to join.

Following on from two extremely successful lunch time demo’s outside Eastbourne General Hospital, the GMB union have today announced a march and rally on Saturday 26th July through the town centre of Eastbourne to highlight the latest unfair and unreasonable redeployments of over potentially 200 staff from around the East Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust to other areas within the county without undertaking meaningful consultation with unions and staff.

The march will start at 10.30am from the Eastbourne Pier, travel through the town centre and make its way back to the seafront for a rally at the Wish Tower.

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.
