Support is growing for the idea of standing trade union and socialist anti-cuts candidates in the London elections in 2012.
The Socialist last week carried extracts of an appeal letter from Steve Hedley and John Reid of the RMT and Ian Leahair and Ben Sprung of the FBU (in a personal capacity).
Are you a trade unionist in London? If so, add your name to the statement: “We, the undersigned, support the call for trade unionist and socialist candidates to stand in the Greater London Assembly elections in 2012, committed to opposing all cuts, privatisation and PFI”.
