Dumfries and Galloway GMB

Dumfries May Day

Contact: dumfries@iww.org.uk

We are a grouping of radical workers -- including those in unpaid labour (such as homeworkers and students), who live in Dumfries and Galloway.

We had our first meeting in October 2007, and had regular meetings every month since then.

Our middle-term aim is to be become a fully recognised branch of the IWW. For the moment we engage in support for local and regional campaigns.

A new group for IWW members based at Glasgow University has been set up. It includes students and staff from across the sector, and from both the main campus and the Crichton Campus. Contact Keir on glasgowuni@iwwscotland.org for more information. Members of the IWW took part in the Multicultural Event at Easterbook Hall, Crichton Campus, Dumfries on Wednesday 7th November, where they distributed information on workers' rights. In December they took part in the Radical Independent Bookfair in Glasgow and actively supporting IWW members in England in the campaign to Save the National Blood Service. We participate with other networks in helping workers, both migrant and from more settled populations, with information and assistance in direct action.
