March in March Northampton

March in March - In Defiance on the 11th March 2023 organised by Northampton Trades Union Council:

Will you fight back against this pernicious Tory government?

They plan a bonfire of workers' rights and want to rob a fair pay rise for millions in the worst cost of living crisis in a generation. Your right to withdraw your labour and to strike against unfair working conditions, is under threat. There are laws going through parliament now that attack rights for Agency workers, Part-time workers, Maternity/paternity leave and Health and Safety in the workplace.
