Men fight and lose the battle, and the thing that they fought for comes about in spite of their defeat, and when it comes turns out not to be what they meant, and other men have to fight for what they meant under another name. (William Morris - A Dream of John Ball)

Support striking UNISON members at Notting Hill Housing Trust

UNISON members of our Housing Associations Branch have been forced to take action against an increasingly hostile employer at Notting Hill Housing Trust.

UNISON members are taking strike action today in opposition to imposed cuts to terms and conditions, including an end to paid carers’ leave and flexitime. These changes will, by the employers’ own admission, have greatest impact on female staff with caring responsibilities.

Relocation allowances and salary protection have also been cut in advance of likely changes to job roles and office relocation (echoes of the Government's attack on civil servants redundancy terms ahead of making redundancies!) Further information - and details of how you can protest to the employer in support of the striking workers - is
Solidarity and best wishes to the Notting Hill strikers!
