Campaigning against council cuts - resources for TUSC groups
Peoples Budget briefing pack
The November meeting of the Trade Unionist and Socialist Coalition (TUSC) national steering committee agreed the text of a new model letter to local government union branches, following up the letter to Labour councillors agreed last month (see http://www.tusc.org.uk/17319/20-10-2016/tusc-agrees-new-appeal-to-labour-councillors-to-join-the-fightback).
The letter to council workers is available as a Word document (at http://www.tusc.org.uk/txt/388.doc) so it can be adapted by local groups.
The model letter to Labour councillors is also available both as a Word document (at http://www.tusc.org.uk/txt/383.doc) and as a PDF (at http://www.tusc.org.uk/txt/389.pdf).
Printed supplies of the letter to Labour councillors, with some space for local details to be overprinted, can be posted out - 300 copies for £3 - to local groups. These can be used on stalls, but particularly to give out at local council 'consultation' meetings, anti-cuts protests, or Labour Party meetings.
The TUSC briefing document, Preparing a No Cuts People's Budget, is also available online at http://www.tusc.org.uk/txt/355.pdf
