STAY SOLID TO
WIN
THIS
FIGHT
I
DSG workers on strike in Stirling

f DSG workers stand strong

then they can win this fight.
Thats the message coming
from picket lines across Britain.
Everyone wants to see workers
putting up a real fight on pay.
Thats why messages of support
and offers to speak at union
meetings, have started to roll in.
Supporters took big solidarity
collections to the Stirling picket
lines on Thursday morning. These
had been organised by Unison union
reps at Glasgow council.
The Unite retired members branch
delivered 200 to the Donnington
pickets, and the trades council put
on a Christmas social at the picket
line for strikers and hosted a public
meeting to raise support.
Every report tells of solid
picket lines, growing confidence
and workers joining Unite to get
involved in the fight for decent pay.
Its clear to every DSG worker
that the combine has a strategy
that can win on pay, so long as
it is continued and if necessary

intensified. Escalation has been the

key to ramping the pressure up on
DSG bosses.
Sixteen days of strike action
shows that workers are out to win
decent pay, not just to protest.
Nobody can afford to go on year
after year losing money.
Weve all faced a massive real
terms pay cut since the recession
started back in 2008. Its time to turn
things around.
If DSG knows that were prepared
to stick out the full ten days this
time round, and strike again if

necessary than well get a result.

The strike has already had plenty
of media attention, both in local
papers and in the national press,
radio and TV.
But what better way to ramp up
the pressure than to take the fight to
London next week.
A protest at the MoD by hundreds
of DSG workers would be the
perfect way to round off our action
and show any potential buyer like
Babcock that they are taking on a
workforce that wont be pushed
around.
