The newly elected Tory/ Lib dem coalition is wasting no time in announcing attacks on public sector spending and its our jobs and the vital services that we provide that are due for the axe!
This financial crisis is not of our making and is the biggest con trick for years – use public money to bail out the banks then bankers and politicians announce that the public sector must pay with cuts in jobs and services.
We reject the government and media campaign that places the blame for the crisis at the door of public sector workers/ public sector services.
We reject the idea ‘private good/ public bad’.
We need a united campaign of service providers and service users to fight cuts described as “worse than during Thatcher’s time”.
Get organised. Come to the lunch time demonstration

Defend Glasgow Services Campaign
The DGS campaign unites public sector trades unions, public services workers and community organisations. Glasgow City Council and its Arms Length Organisations intend to make significant cuts to services over the next three years. Grants to community organisations are also being slashed. The citizens of Glasgow should not be asked to pay for the bail out of the banks and the mistakes of greedy bankers.
