A rally in support of striking workers, and to build on growing calls for an immediate general election, will take place in Central Milton Keynes on Saturday 29th October at 12.00.
The rally, organised by MK People's Assembly, a non-party political coalition made up of local trades unions and campaign groups, will be held in the square outside Marks & Spencer (opposite Civic Offices). All are welcome.
Speakers include People's Assembly national secretary and ex-MP Laura Pidcock, Delia Mattis, from Black Lives Matter, and local trades union officers. There will also be music and poetry from Mitchell Taylor, Concrete Cow Club and the Bard of Stony Stratford, Michael Gurner.
The rally also aims to promote the national People's Assembly's "Britain is Broken" march in London on Saturday November 5th, with coaches planned from Milton Keynes.
Gary Lloyd, local postman and trade union liaison for MK people's assembly said:
“Ordinary working people are fighting back in the only way they can; by taking strike action. During the pandemic, key workers were being applauded on the doorstep for keeping the country going, but we are now being attacked for standing up for our pay and conditions. We are just working people who have watched our wages being eroded year on year whilst executive pay and corporate profits have soared. Well, now we say 'enough is enough'. We demand and deserve better."
