Solidarity with Mid Yorkshire strikers

Up to 500 UNISON and UNITE health workers in Mid-Yorkshire start a 5 day strike against compulsory redundancies at midnight tonight.

This action follows three days of strike action in November which inspired solidarity and support from other UNISON branches.

For details of the dispute, which is about job losses but also about defending Agenda for Change, I recommend the online report from InFocus on the UNISON website.

Details of how to send messages of support and donations are set out on the Unite the Resistance website;

Please send messages of support to midyorksunison@aol.co.uk

Financial donations to the hardship fund can be sent to:
