Film and talk: ‘MST: Landless Farmers and the Biggest March in Brazilian History’.

At the Cowley Club, London Rd, Brighton.

It was 1834 and 100,000 people gathered in what was Copenhagen Fields and is now just north of King’s Cross to demand freedom for the Tolpuddle Martyrs; it is now 175 years later and residents in King’s Cross together with trades unions from all over the country are preparing to commemorate that momentous day with a march on 25 April from the Caledonian Park to Edward Square where an acoustic music festival and lots of activities will end a week of events.
Edward Square and surrounding area of Copenhagen Street, Kings Cross, London.

Following the insulting and unacceptable offer from Visteon this week the sacked workers are stepping up their 24/7 picket of the Enfield factory. The Belfast and Basildon Visteon workers have also rejected the offer. Now more than ever they need support and solidarity for their decision to continue their struggle for justice.

Come along to find out what is happening at the factory and what people can do to help step up the campaign.

The conference, included hundreds of delegates from oil and gas, ports, electricity, construction, public sector, transport, communications, education, rail, health care, metal working, journalists, food workers and students. Delegations from the US, the UK, South Africa, Japan, Australia, and Iran were also there.

At this conference three powerful unions, the Federation of Oil Unions in Iraq , the Electricity Association and the General Federation of Workers Councils’ and Unions signed an agreement to create a new union confederation under the conference’s banner “A better world can be made by workers”.
