Brighton Health & Social Care poster for NHS strike
The call for 1% is a distraction from the real issues. We need more than 1%, we need to stop the privatising of our health care, better staffing, access to free health care for all, we need to be active in our work places, stop asking and start demanding and organising ourselves. Join Brighton’s Health & Social Care Network.

Our health and social care provisions are being dismantled and those working are having their good will taken advantage of. We want to build confidence and a culture of resistance, collectivising issues and improving services from the workers’ and service users perspective.
Issues we have encountered are; low pay, unpaid overtime, no breaks, no annual pay rise, privatisation, bullying and harassment, staff shortages and zero contract hours.
We believe by acting together workers can directly tackle issues and assert our rights. We’re holding meetings promoting mutual support and solidarity, where issues can be shared and collectively acted on. We’re introducing training for organising in the workplace.
If you’re working in health and social care, and you’re interested in discussing a workplace issue or joining, get in touch!
Whenever you clog things up, or commit sabotage, it’s based on the Sabot, a wooden shoe used by workers in Holland to break bosses’ looms back in the 15th century. It's part of Europe's long and glorious history of fighting back when the rich get greedy at our expense.
The Ryanair Don't Care Campaign, with the support of the International Workers Association, is holding an International Week of Action against Ryanair, on the 12-18 March.
Ryanair's current policy of recruitment-for-termination is part of the massive exploitation of people who apply to work for the company. As it stands potential cabin crew have to pay a fee of 3000 Euro through an agency to undergo training for Ryanair. As many as 60 people are sacked at any one time after this initial training period, up to 200 people a month. Those who survive are put on a 12 month probationary period on a lower rate of pay than normal cabin crew and Ryanair pocket the difference, as much as £20m a year.
As we begin the week of action against Ryanair, we hope that people across the world are writing, faxing, emailing and making phone calls in protest at the airline's exploitative recruitment practices.
Attached are pro-forma demand letters to send to Ryanair and other key targets, which can be adapted as needed. Don't forget to include your name and/or the name of your organisation, along with contact details and let us know of any reply you receive.
In the order that the letters appear in the attachment, here are the contact details for the targets:
