RALLY AGAINST NEW HOSPITAL CUTS - HARTLEPOOL SATURDAY 26TH JUNE‏

This Saturday UNISON will be joining MPs from around the region, local councillors and Hartlepool residents to make a public stand against the coalition Government’s decision to cut the funding for a new hospital for North Tees and Hartlepool. The rally, to be held at the cenotaph, opposite the civic centre, in Hartlepool at 2:30pm on Saturday 26th June, will give people an opportunity to sign a petition protesting against the cut as well as signing a letter to be sent to Prime Minister, David Cameron, asking him to reverse the decision.

The Rally has been organised by the Labour party but is being supported by UNISON at Regional and local level. Clare Williams, UNISON’s Regional Convenor, will be a speaker at the rally.

Branches are encouraged to send members and activists.
