why front line workers must lead fight against health cuts

Independent Workers Union understands that the cuts we face are part of a global attack on public services. The response must also be international and hence we have invited Susan Rosenthal, Canadian Physician and author of ‘Class, Health and Healthcare’ here from the International Health Workers for People Over Profit and support her efforts to form a local branch of the organisation. Susan is inviting health workers and members of the public to discuss how we can organize a local and international fight to defend health services. She will be sharing a platform with veteran trade unionist, Joe Bowers, at 7pm sharp, Friday 19th June at the Belfast Unemployed Resource Centre, Donegal Street.
