This weekend, striking workers from different unions are expected to join tenants and other campaigners for ‘Enough is Enough’ campaign day of action. Protestors will meet at Buchanan Street steps from 12noon onwards.

Organisations involved in organising the event include the CWU, RMT, Living Rent, Power to the People Glasgow, Glasgow Strike Solidarity group and Fans Supporting Foodbanks Scotland.

The campaign is encouraging people to show solidarity with striking workers who will take to the picket line on Saturday morning - with particular emphasis on the RMT and ASLEF picket line at Glasgow Central and the CWU picket line at the Royal Mail delivery office on Baird Street.

Union leaders including STUC General Secretary Roz Foyer will speak at the rally, along with representatives from Fans Supporting Foodbanks, Living Rent and Power to the People Glasgow will also be speaking.

Speaking about the planned protests, CWU’s Regional Secretary for Scotland Craig Anderson said:

“The Government’s disastrous budget last week has intensified the unprecedented attacks on working people’s living standards.

“For months teachers, nurses, firefighters and all other workers, including CWU members in Royal Mail, the Post Office and the BT Group, have been told that giving them a real pay rise would be inflationary. Well, now we know it's the government handing out tax cuts to the super rich that is causing the real economic crisis for working people in this country.

“People are angry. Workers are striking back and working class people are taking to the streets to campaign against soaring energy bills and rip off rents. 

“Collective campaigning delivers victories for working people. Join us on Saturday, show solidarity with your posties, rail workers and all other workers taking action to defend living standards and tell the establishment ‘enough is enough’.”
