UNISON activists raised their concerns about the future of public services in London at a meeting with Labour mayoral candidate Ken Livingstone last night.
The event, which also included Greater London Assembley candidates Andrew Dismore, Murad Qureshi – who are both UNISON members – and John Biggs, also gave union activists a chance to discuss the campaign with the candidates.
“Ken spoke about how he will put the needs of UNISON members and ordinary Londoners first by cutting fares, increasing the number of police on the streets, campaigning for a living rent, building homes for Londoners, restoring the campaign for the London Living Wage and standing up against attacks on public services,” said John Gray of the Greater London UNISON Labour Link committee.
“We need to support Ken and the Labour candidates and return a Labour mayor and a Labour majority on the GLA on 3 May.”
