The West Midlands is set to see a “massive turnout” across the region as activists and staff prepare for 30 November.
“The mood is very positive and there’s work going on in every single branch in the region at the moment to make sure that the 30th is a success,” says West Midlands regional manager Tony Rabaiotti.
“We’re expecting a massive turnout in the West Midlands on 30 November.”
On the day itself, a major rally will take place in Birmingham city centre, while there’ll also be rallies in various towns and cities across the region.
The rallies, coordinated with the TUC, will take place throughout the region including in Telford, Coventry, Stoke, Worcester, Stafford and Hereford.
Mr Rabaiotti continued: “The Black Country rallies in Wolverhampton, Dudley, Sandwell and Walsall will feed into the major Birmingham event, where TUC general secretary Brendan Barber is due to speak. Mr Barber is planning to visit a hospital and picket lines nearby too.
“In Oldbury, following a rally outside the council offices, supporters will get on trains to Birmingham to join the thousands of supporters expected there.”
