Why I am Marching....

To express my outrage against the ideological destruction of public services and attacks on public service workers and people who rely on public services.

In solidarity with all those who will be affected by the cuts in services, benefits and jobs.

Because I am a local government worker in the field of homelessness and housing options and being made redundant as a result of the Tory-led government's savage cuts.

As I believe in public services.

To protest against the greed of the rich and the bankers and will not allow public service workers, the vulnerable, the disabled and the Labour party to be made the scapegoats.

Because I am a socialist, a feminist, a trade unionist and I believe in human rights, fairness and equality.

Because there is an alternative.

Tanker drivers offered 14% over 2 years

BBC News.

Chancellor Alistair Darling also said the above-inflation pay deal was due to "particular problems" confined to the tanker dispute. "Settlements overall over the last 12 months are around 3.5% which is consistent with our inflation target," Mr Darling told the BBC. His comments come a day after the latest UK inflation data showed the annual rate rose to 3.3% in May, up from 3% in April and well above the target of 2%. Bank of England governor Mervyn King has warned that rising food and energy prices could push UK consumer inflation above 4% this year.

Just shows that public service workers have been forced to settle for below inflation targets and no account has been taken of the particular problems that we face.
