ADOPT A NURSERY NURSE
1 March 2004 - To all workplaces
Our Nursery Nurse colleagues started
all-out indefinite strike action on 1 March
to try to bring a resolution to their three
year battle for fair pay.
They have shown immense solidarity
from day one but there is no doubt that the
indefinite strike will hit them hard - and they
will need the support of all their UNISON colleagues.
Nursery Nurse pay is low enough
and few will be able to manage without their
wages and on basic union strike pay. That is
why we all have to help top that up and make
sure they are not starved back to work.
So, we are asking workplaces to
'Adopt a Nursery Nurse'. There are more
workplaces than Nursery Nurses so we should
be able to make a difference.
What you should do:
- Have weekly collections in your workplace
and forward them to UNISON City of Edinburgh
Branch 23 George IV Bridge Edinburgh EH1 1EN
(Cheques made payable to UNISON City of Edinburgh
Branch).
- Invite a Nursery Nurse to a workplace
meeting - hear all the issues first hand
- Visit any Nursery Nurse picket line
close to you
- Speak to your local councillor, Write
to your MSP
- Write letters of support to the press
- Click here
to send a message of support to Edinburgh's
Nursery Nurses
This is not just the Nursery
Nurses fight - it is a fight for ALL UNISON
members. Let's show everyone our strength by
standing together and digging deep for the Nursery
Nurses.
