Walthamstow UNISON Labour Link meets Jennette & Stella

Picture is from a successful Walthamstow UNISON Labour Link (APF) mobilisation meeting held last Thursday (31 January 2008) in Walthamstow, East London.

The widely respected local London Assembly member (and this year’s candidate of course) Jennette Arnold was the GLA speaker at the meeting (the one with the thumbs up!).

While local Labour Prospective parliamentary Candidate (and sharp cookie) Stella Creasy (on left) was also a much welcomed speaker and contributor. Stella is writing to all members about their specific concerns while Jennette is inviting female members present to the next Capital Women’s event.

Branch Labour Link officer Alan Griffiths (white shirt) organised the event and I think that it is the Walthamstow UNISON branch secretary, Dave Knight, standing next to him?

I couldn’t make this meeting but I have been at similar UNISON Labour Link meetings at Tower Hamlets and my own London Housing Association Branch. It is good to see UNISON branches rallying behind Labour GLA candidate for the forthcoming elections.

It will be an absolute and utter disaster for all Londoners and especially UNISON members, if the Boris and the Tories win in May. We need to get this message out to our members.

No,it won't be a diaster it will be great change from the bland, the only shame is that Leninspart won't be in office to explain how the olympics are only going to cost us 15p a day? What a dickhead!

Hi Anon
Who knows how life pans out. But I suspect our Ken will still be about in 2012 (and the rest)
