US Nurses Stand by UK Nurses, Public Workers Nov. 30 Rallies in Six US Cities to Say: Stop Cuts to Retirement Security
From our friends at National Nurses United:
With up to two million British workers expected to join the biggest strike in the United Kingdom in a generation Wednesday, Nov. 30, the largest union of registered nurses in the U.S. announced today that it will hold support rallies for British nurses and other workers in six U.S. cities Wednesday.
U.S. nurses, joined by other union members in Washington and several other cities, will hold noon rallies at the British Embassy in Washington and at British consulates in Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, Orlando, and San Francisco.
The actions come amidst huge corporate cash reserves on both sides of the Atlantic while government officials in both nations push reductions in retirement security and other cuts. In the U.K., some 30 unions representing nurses, teachers, paramedics, civil servants, and other public workers will protest plans by the conservative government to cut public pensions. In the U.S., support rallies will also remind the public of threats to Social Security as well.
U.S. rally locations, all actions at 12 noon local time:
- Washington, DC – Embassy of the United Kingdom, 3100 Massachusetts Ave NW
- Boston – Consulate, One Broadway, Cambridge
- Chicago – Consulate, 625 N. Michigan Ave.
- Los Angeles – Consulate, 11766 Wilshire Blvd.
- Orlando – Consulate, 200 South Orange Ave.
- San Francisco – Consulate, One Sansome St.
In both countries, politicians seek to slash deficits at the expense of working people. Unions in both countries warned that deficit reduction as proposed will lead to increased levels of economic inequality, unemployment, and poverty, exacerbating the crisis in both nations. Read more…
