People First on October 1st March in Glasgow

On October 1st UNISON will be marching for public services alongside community groups, service users and other trade unions, on the STUC-organised People First demonstration in Glasgow.

This march is a key event for our Public Works campaign to protect services and jobs. It is also gives a visible focus for our Protect Our Pensions campaign and an opportunity to raise awareness of the attacks on public service pensions. It is our chance to stage something comparable to the magnificent March for the Alternative in London earlier this year and to build on last year‟s march in Edinburgh. The People First demonstration and rally, part of the STUC‟s There is a Better Way campaign, is working alongside faith, equality and anti-poverty and campaigning organisations to:

Promote the redistribution of wealth through fair taxes and living wage jobs

Protect the hardest hit through decent services and fair benefits

Build stronger communities for all

The march will assemble in Glasgow Green from 11.30 am and move off at 12 noon with a rally to be held in Kelvingrove Park commencing at 1.30pm and finishing at 3.00pm. Following the rally, there will be a number of fringe events held in places of worship, student unions, public buildings and hotels in the vicinity of the park.

We need your help to make sure as many people as possible come along:

Tell members to bring their colleagues, friends and families – the march is for everyone

Pick up leaflets and posters to distribute from West Campbell Street or download copies from the campaign website www.peoplefirstoctoberfirst.org/campaign-materials

Tell everyone what your marching for by making your T-shirts, banners and placards personal to you and your community

Please note that the STUC website now carries all the details for the march on its campaign website at www.peoplefirstoctoberfirst.org.
