Public Services Alliance - Northern Region Launches

Trade unionists from across North East and Cumbria are now meeting to decide how to respond to the Government's planned spending cuts. The Northern Public Services Alliance was launched last month in Newcastle with over 150 people in attendance. Now seven local groups are to meet to plan how to take campaigns forward in local communities and spell out the case against cuts.
