APEX conference voted to sunnort the march and APEX conference voted to support the march and the Labour Party Women's Festival on June 5. And NUPE conference voted to affiliate to Women's Fightback, which has spent the last year organising and building for the Women's Right to Work March.

We need to turn these votes into bodies on the march. The march is going to make women's unem. ployment visible again and show that women have as much right to a job as men. It'll point out that women's unemployment isn't just about job vacancies.

It's also about the lack of nurseries, hospitals and old people's services, low pay and sexual harassment at work. And that women are then expected after all that, to cheerfully do shopping, cooking and cleaning as well.

The march is gaining support all the time; make sure you, your banners and all your mates are there!

The march assembles at 10.30 at County Hall, Waterloo, London on June 5.

The TUC's plans for June 10 - its official 'Union Day' - go no further than public leafleting.
