Why we are marching on 18 June?
We are marching because….
Working people have had enough. Everything’s going up but our wages.
Ministers partied while people died. Now they do nothing while living standards plummet and P&O lays off hundreds of workers on the spot.
It’s time for a new deal for working people. We need help with energy bills and a real pay rise for every worker.
Let’s take matters into our own hands – and get out on the streets.
On 18 June, in London, let’s tell this government: we DEMAND better.
We demand…
- A real pay rise for every worker – and a real living wage for all
- Respect and security for all workers – ban zero hours contracts, ban fire and rehire, decent sick pay now
- End racism at work
- Tax energy profits to pay our bills
- Raise universal credit
- Boost union bargaining rights now
And more than that: we demand a government that listens and acts to support working people.
Join us in London on 18 June
Bring your banners, your placards and signs.
Bring your workmates, your family and friends.
Invite local community organisations, foodbanks and allies
Let’s make some noise, get out on the streets and start the push back: WE DEMAND BETTER.
Make a plan to come to London on 18 June
