Cost of living protest set for June

Unions are getting ready to rally behind the TUC’s call that “We demand better”, which will be voiced at a protest to be held in London on 18 June.

According to the union body “it’s time for a new deal for working people. We need help with energy bills and a real pay rise for every worker.

“Let’s take matters into our own hands – and get out on the streets.”

The demo will make the following demands:

a real pay rise for every worker – and a real living wage for all;

respect and security for all workers – ban zero hours contracts, ban fire and rehire, decent sick pay now;

end racism at work;

tax energy profits to pay our bills;

raise universal credit;

boost union bargaining rights now; and

a government that listens and acts to support working people.
