T
he fght against the ConDem austerity offensive is back on!
Todays strike sees up to 1 million council and school
workers, teachers, civil servants and others resisting the con-
tinuing public sector pay freeze. As PCS President Janice
Godrich told last Saturdays NSSN Conference, one of her
unions members explained why they were going on strike,
Because theres too much month left at the end of the
money!

Alongside them are fre-fghters who are defending their hard
won pension rights who are also walking out. Workers from
Unison, PCS, Unite, GMB, NUT, FBU and NIPSA will be on strike
together. Transport for London workers as well as power control
operators on London Underground are also out on strike today,
meaning that RMT and TSSA can be added to the list.

At our 8th annual conference last Saturday, the NSSN gave full
support and solidarity to these workers. But we also debated
how to keep the strike going and avoid what happened after the
N30 2011 pensions strike. After 2 million workers took action
together, the TUC and conservative union leaders signed up to
the governments deal. That step totally demobilised the mass
movement and only emboldened this fat cat government to
unleash their brutal cuts offensive. Unison has already named
September 9th and 10th as the next two strike days. We
welcome this and call on all unions in the public and private
sector to meet together asap after July 10th to ensure that the
momentum is maintained into the autumn and beyond.
We want to keep up the pressure on the union leaders so the
NSSN will be lobbying the TUC Congress in Liverpool on
September 7th, just 2 days before the next scheduled strikes.
We want our share!
Strike together for a pay rise!
All out again in September!

As the tube strike in London has shown this year, when the
unions take decisive action they can win huge public support
and actually mobilise millions around them who are suffering
from the ConDem cuts. Food banks are sprouting up every-
where and more and more are going to the modern day loan
sharks, the pay-day loan companies.
Today will shake this fat cat government but if it is continued
into the autumn and beyond and particularly if it reaches out to
the millions in the private sector being hammered by the bosses
in would amount to a 24 hour general strike, Cameron and co.
can be defeated.
