Many health workers have learned a lot about the need to go out to the wider labour movement and to call for solidarity for their own struggle - and also to give that same support ourselves to other workers.
Our committee invited drivers' . representatives to our next meeting so that the links could be strengthened.
They were acting in solicarity with the women in Kent who have been striking for five weeks to defend their contracts.
The women in Tower Hainlets, NUPE members, were warning the Inner London Education Authority that the national agreement must not be breached. Authorities like Kent until retirement'!
At a mass meeting, 200 women agreed to continue action next term, and to refuse to provide cover for any scabs. As one shop steward said, 'We have to show everyone that we're all in this together. I voted against the strike, but 1 still came out' • It was she who have moved the resoluservices, all schools received a letter from it threatening disciplinary action for the strike.
A Socialist Organiser leaflet arguing for unity with the health workers' strike was well-received by workers who had not known of the full extent of the Kent authority's cuts and the implications for them.
