Blackpool Local Government Branch

Coalition plans for the public sector will mean job losses, pay freezes, worse pensions and inadequate services for the public. They amount to the biggest assault on public spending for 40 years.

These cuts will impact on every local government worker… which means YOUR job is at risk, YOUR pension is threatened and YOUR pay and conditions will worsen.

If unopposed the Coalition’s policies will result in growing unemployment, worse public services and put at risk the chances of an economic recovery.

Life in Britain will be worse for millions of working people.

UNISON is supporting a TUC lobby of the LibDem Conference in Liverpool on Sunday 19 September 2010 to show the level of opposition to the Coalition cuts.

Please contact the branch office if you are interested in attending the lobby:
