already named September 9th and 10th as the next two strike days. We welcome this and call on all unions in the public and private sector to meet together asap after July 10th to ensure that the momentum is maintained into the autumn and beyond. We want to keep up the pressure on the union leaders so the NSSN will be lobbying the TUC and solidarity to these workers. But we also debated how to keep the strike going and avoid what happened after the N30 2011 pensions strike. After 2 million workers took action together, the TUC and conservative union leaders signed up to the governments deal. That step totally demobilised the mass movement and only emboldened this The NSSN is supported by the following national unions: nationalshopstewardsnetwork twitter: NSSN_anticuts e: info@shopstewards.net PO Box 54498, London E10 9DE The ght against the ConDem austerity offensive is back on! Todays strike sees up to 1 million council and school workers, teachers, civil servants and others resisting the continuing public sector pay freeze. As PCS President Janice Godrich told last Saturdays NSSN Conference, one of her unions members explained why they were going on strike, Because there's too much month left at the end of the money! Alongside them are re-ghters who are defending their hard won pension rights who are also walking out. Workers from Unison, PCS, Unite, GMB, NUT, FBU and NIPSA will be on strike together. Transport for London workers as well as power control operators on London Underground are also out on strike today, meaning that RMT and TSSA can be added to the list.

As the tube strike in London has shown this year, when the unions take decisive action they can win huge public support and actually mobilise millions around them who are suffering from the ConDem cuts. Food banks are sprouting up everywhere and more and more are going to the modern day loan sharks, the pay-day loan companies. Today will shake this fat cat government but if it is continued into the autumn and beyond and particularly if it reaches out to the millions in the private sector being hammered by the bosses in would amount to a 24 hour general strike, Cameron and Co. can be defeated. www.shopstewards.net NSSN rally and lobby of the TUC Congress in Liverpool: Keep striking together for a pay rise! 2pm Jurys Hotel, opposite Echo Arena conference centre in Albert Dock
