'A Future That Works' - mass TUC demonstration in London on 20 October

This week, I am asking all of you to start talking to your friends and family about why they should take to London's streets on Saturday 20 October. 
We need the TUC March for A Future that Works to be a huge success.
This will send the government a strong message – from public service workers and from communities as a whole – that we oppose its anti-growth, pro-austerity policies, and want an alternative plan for the future.

On 26 March last year, an impressive sea of purple and green made its way through London’s streets, and we need to make this march even bigger and better.

Keep an eye on the UNISON website, and listen out for details from your regions about transport to London – make sure you book your place on a coach.
