Please follow this link to sign a petition against the public-sector pay cap. Over 100,000 have signed already.

Since 2012 the government has imposed a 1% pay cap on public sector workers, which came after a three year pay freeze. In that time, we have become thousands of pounds worse off,  yet the richest 1000 people in this country have increased their wealth by 14% in the last year alone.

We live in the fifth richest country in the world with 134 billionaires, but over a million people rely on foodbanks. Enough is enough. The pay cap needs to be scrapped.

Camden Unison is holding a meeting to hear what other workers are doing in the fight for decent pay, and discuss what we can do. Read this flyer, come along and join in!

The Camden Black Workers’ Group and Camden Unison have arranged for the film “I Am Not Your Negro”, based on the writings of James Baldwin, to be shown at the Rio cinema in Dalston on Saturday, 14th October at 2pm. There will be a Q & A session afterwards, featuring Diane Abbott MP.

Unison’s General Secretary, Dave Prentis, announced today that the union would be supporting the 1st July People’s Assembly Against Austerity demonstration against the government.

The general election result, which bucked the polls which suggested a Tory landslide, showed that there is in fact a significant level of support for Jeremy Corbyn and Labour’s anti-austerity policies. The loss of their overall majority means that the Conservatives do not have a mandate to rule for the next parliamentary term, and may have to make an unseemly agreement with the Northern Irish Protestant religiously-conservative DUP.
