Dear <<First Name>>,
LONDON AGAINST AUSTERITY CONFERENCE

GLATUC - the Greater London Association of Trade Union Councils - have called a conference to bring together trade unionists, councillors and community activists to discuss developing joint campaigning against austerity and its impact on local services.

Councillors from across London are encouraged to attend to widen discussion about how we collectively respond.

Supported by Islington Labour Group, sessions on the day will include:

  • maintaining and returning council services in-house 

Speakers on the day will include:
  • Islington Council leader Richard Watts
  • Islington Housing Executive Member James Murray 
  • Barnet UNISON Secretary John Burgess
  • Labour NEC local government rep Alice Perry
