Bob Crow and Tony Benn

Like the rest of the movement, we are saddened at the loss of our comrades. Our condolences to their families. Tony spoke in Lewisham several times during his long career and Bob had agreed to speak at a meeting in July that we are arranging to mark 30th anniversary of the Miner's Strike. This meeting will go ahead and will be dedicated to the memory of  Bob and Tony.

Solidarity with Unite, NUT and PCS

Lewisham trades council offers its full support for Unite members in the Homes and Community Agency set to strike over pay on 25th , 26th and 27th March.  We also support NUT members on strike on 26/03/14 and congratulate PCS members at the National Gallery for their successful protest in support of their demand for the London Living Wage on 18/03/14.
