Picket and donate: support the NSL strike!

Our low-paid members on the NSL parking enforcement contract have been taking strike action for a decent pay increase from early September. Here is how you can support the workers. 

The background to the dispute is here.

Donate
These low paid  members (currently earning £8.92 per hour) will of course not be paid during their industrial action, so we need to raise hardship funds. Please donate what you can to help this group of workers. If you currently work for the  Council, bear in mind that the pay of outsourced workers is of vital importance, as privatisation is only necessary if it can be used to cut wages, so if outsourced workers  can win decent pay it lowers the risk of privatisation for the rest of us.

You can donate quickly and easily here via PayPal:

Alternately you can donate to  the hardship fund by bank transfer, here are our account details:
