Right to Work Annual General Meeting
The ConDem government is 2 years into their brutal assault on the welfare state. They are driving through the privatisation of the NHS and our schools, attempting to smash public sector pensions and make the poorest pay for the crisis.
This assault has generated some of the largest resistance seen in this country for years.
Right to Work has played a key part in the campaigns and strikes over the past year.
We initiated the demonstrations at the Tory and Lib Demo conferences that were then taken up by the TUC and saw 40,000 march on the Tory Conference in Manchester.
We worked flat out to help build and support the TUC March 26th demonstrationwhich saw 750,000 take to the streets.
We have been involved in the pensions campaign, producing leaflets and placards, organising and helping build meetings around the country.
We have been involved with the Sparks campaign since it began.
We initiated the ‘Day X for the NHS‘ demonstration and have been involved in numerous demonstrations against the attacks on the NHS.
The Right to Work Hound has been a popular feature of demonstrations against the ConDem government up and down the country.
Our website has reported nearly 100 meetings, demonstrations and protests in the last year, providing a crucial link for campaigners to follow each other’s struggles.
The Right to Work AGM will be an important opportunity to review this work, and to look to the future. As the ConDems continue their attacks Right to Work will continue to help organise the resistance.
