harsh cuts in north wales

Steve Ryan reports on Wrexham

The reality of the savage attacks on the working class has united activists in North Wales.

A meeting in Wrexham of the already established and active Shop Stewards Network debated the attacks and the response.

The cuts hit North Wales hard. Thousands rely on public sector jobs. In Wrexham there are estimated some 15,000 public sector workers, all delivering valuable services.

Communards in Wrexham have been busy pushing a May day march and rally through the local trade council. The theme will be around May day as a workers movement day as oppossed to the racism and hate of the BNP, who are active in the area.

After the march a series of meetings are being arranged around the title “Storming the heavens – alternatives to capitalism”.

Paper sales will also be launched in and around the town centre. Contact Steve Ryan via uncaptiveminds@gmail.com
