Trade Unions Day of Action Northern Ireland!

29 October 2009: A Better & Fairer Deal For Northern Ireland

TSSA members are called to rally in solidarity with other unions on 6 November 2009.

All TSSA members are strongly encouraged to attend.

Now everyone is being asked to pay with cuts to our TRANSPORT, Education, Health, Housing, and other vital public services. These cuts will mean the loss of even more jobs in the public and private sectors and damage the Northern Ireland economy. Everyone in Northern Ireland relies on quality public services - the Private Sector, the Voluntary & Community Sector will all be hit.

Northern Ireland's trade unions believe that there is a better & fairer way - maintaining quality public services, protecting jobs and meeting the needs of those in the community who depend on these services.

Where are the plans to protect peoples' jobs, or create new employment? Where are the plans to protect peoples' homes from repossession? And where are the plans to protect vital services at a time when greater numbers will come to depend on them?

If the government response to the crisis is implemented you will almost certainly face further attacks on your terms and conditions and jobs will go. These proposals have the potential to see the public transport system that we are all proud to work in run into the ground. As members of the TSSA we all have to stand together in fighting any proposal that will attack your living standards. We also have to ensure that we campaign hard to maintain public ownership of transport in Northern Ireland so that it continues to serve the needs of all in our society.

Northern Ireland's trade unions believe that there is a better & fairer way - Maintaining quality public services, protecting jobs and meeting the needs of Those in the community who depend on these services.

It is now more crucial than ever that as union members we stand together to protect our jobs and our industry. It is crucial that as many members attend the rallies on November 6th - look for the TSSA banner and flags and join together with your fellow TSSA members to protect jobs, terms and conditions in public transport
