T
here is now a real chance that
1.5 million workers will strike
together on 10 July.
Tis includes almost 900,000 local
government workers in England and Wales
(600,000 Unison, 220,000 GMB, 70,000
Unite) who are now balloting on whether
to strike after years of below-ination pay
oers or no increase at all.
A quarter of a million teachers in the
NUT are set to join them, as are another
quarter of a million in the PCS civil
service union.
Everywhere we need to win the ballots
and consultations for the strike by the
biggest possible majority, and with the
biggest possible turnout. If you have a
vote and havent used it then say yes today!
And if you have voted, go and win others
to the strike.
Hook
Tis is not time to give up or let the
Tories o the hook. Tey are unpopular,
they serve only the rich and they are
wrecking lives.
A mass strike on 10 July followed by
broader and harder-hitting strikes, could
sink their plans. To link up with other
trade unionists campaigning to win the
ballots go to uniteresist.org
Te Peoples Assembly demonstration
in London on 21 June is also a real chance
to show our opposition to the Tories and
our unityand also to tell the Labour
leaders that they are utterly failing to put
up real opposition to austerity. For details

Resistance unites us, but racism divides
us. Tis week we have seen the disgusting
attack on schools in Birmingham by
Michael Gove and his allies.
Tis is not about protecting children
or improving education. It is a racist and
Islamophobic slur designed to attract
right wing votes and divide the opposition
to austerity. Tis is a matter for all of us, not
just Muslims.
A government of ruthless millionaires
is out to deect peoples anger over
