USUC PARTIAL VICTORY

At last week's meeting USUC mental health service users announced a partial victory in their battle to retain drop-ins and group sessions.  The council has acknowledged the need for these services and is making a suitable building available.  This is a tribute to the terrific determination of USUC campaigners. However the battle continues - this time, to prevent the privatisation of the support workers.  USUC campaigners have pledged to support UNISON in this battle.

NO TO THE BEDROOM TAX!

As the first bedroom tax suicide hits the headlines Salford against Cuts plans a major new initiative to inform people of their rights in relation to the bedroom tax and help them fight it - more details soon.

With three active local anti bedroom tax groups in Salford and more in the offing we are supporting the demonstration to be held on Saturday 1st June, 1.00 pm at Piccadilly Gardens.  We call on all to join with us there.

Fight back - together we can defeat this tax!
