Residents Protest Pop Up Library

View their short video here

Last Saturday I attended the Friern Protest pop up Library over 100 residents families and children turned up to run a temporary protest library. There was a Authro reading to children lots of people exchanging books music, freshly cooked tea and cakes and an energy and commitment to public services that was quite humbling.

To all UNISON members who feel they are being as scapegoats for the financial crisis, this sort of event is a MUST visit.

In my time where services are being cut or privatised I am asked “go tell the residents!” and “the residents must know!”

Well in Barnet the residents do know and what is more there is a growing number of residents who have had enough and are prepared to stand with staff and fight every cut and every privatisation.

My name is ******** and I am the treasurer of East Renfrewshire Branch. At one of our recent branch meetings one of our activists brought up the fact that you as a branch are currently fighting against all out privatisation and that he had a friend who worked in Barnet Council and that you guys were having a time of it right now.

We as branch wanted to send our support and thoughts to you, so that you know that your not alone in these fights and that your stance and strength are an inspiration to all branches.  In addition to our vocal support we would like to offer some sort of financial donation to assist with any sort of strike issues that you guys are currently facing, with this in mind could you please advise me where I should send the cheque too and also where I should send it.

ind Regards and stay strong

Treasurer
