Subject: NSSN No. 39 So what are you wearing Friday?
At least we have a day off.. Anyway more good news in terms of steps towards national co-ordinated action as NUT voted unanimously at their annual conference for strike action against the attacks on pensions. The RCN is also threatening action against NHS cut with Unite's national health committee supporting coordinating strikes. We look forward to hearing about national but also local actions and disputes that will also use the 30th of June to make a collective stand to STOP the cuts!. http://www.facebook.com/l/69406cZ0X4bNXDi5WVDVNzP-g4g/www.stopcuts.net/news.37.htm
Today is also workers memorial day - Remember the dead but lets fight for the living! http://www.facebook.com/l/69406D6ksEfWyFtCfd2fYHYqHVA/www.shopstewards.net/news.76.htm.
Sunday is also International Workers Day - Mayday. With the huge and ongoing battles for democracy and against poverty across the globe there is no better day to look up from our own individual battles and see how many other workers
we have so much in common with and who we change the world with!

NSSN bulletin 37 -NUJ supports national co-ordinated action
Excellent to hear that NUJ Conference calls for TUC to organise a
24 hour general strike and to support the National Shop Stewards as
well as other national anti-cuts campaigns. Dates for this may be June
30th as other unions are currently in ballots around various issues
including pensions. Unite have clarified they oppose ALL cuts and
support national co-ordinated action so any current or ongoing
disputes should consider holding actions on 30th June. This week has
also seen large protests against benefit cuts take place across the
UK. http://www.shopstewards.net/news.67.htm
This weekend sees the Wales shop stewards network conference on Sat
16th of April. This will be an excellent event to attend and develop
