Yes to workers' rights. No to austerity
Manchester, Sunday 4 October 2015
As Conservative Party Conference
meets in Manchester this year, thousands of trade union
members and supporters will march through the city, taking
a clear message to the Conservative Party about their
Government's damaging programme of austerity and their
attacks on the rights of working people and their unions.

resources, leaflets, web graphics etc and the TUC rally
pages for news and updates.
Councils and CoSLA pledge to defy bill
The Convention of Scottish Local Authorities.(CoSLA)
announced on 28 September: “Scotland’s
Councils have come out in force today to stand shoulder
to shoulder with their trade union colleagues against
the UK Government’s Trade Union Bill.”
Earlier Glasgow, Edinburgh and Renfrewshire
councils voted not to co-operate with attacks on facility
time or check-off (which enables union dues to be paid
direct from wages). If your employer has made a similar
statement let us know webmanager@unison-edinburgh.org.uk
