Unite Community branch action - 17 August 2015

Please see the below, which is from the Leicester Unite Community branch. Any protest tomorrow outside Charles Street, New Walk or Wellington Street is against government welfare reform policy (which PCS also opposes) and not PCS members. We ask for mutual respect as union members.
Our event is all planned for Mon 17th, 09:30 at the offices of the British Psychological Society, 48 Princess Road East. We will be seeing off the team who are heading off for a five day walk down to London to raise concerns regarding social policies that are causing emotional harm to the most vulnerable. We will then be moving on to local Jobcentres to protest against the Tory Welfare Bill and the countless deaths related to Benefit Sanctions. We have volunteers to speak, read out details of specific victim cases, and we have a Piper who will be piping a lament, twinned with a Remembrance silence. Please attend if possible, the more people available, and the more visible we are for this event, the better.
