Fellow Workers,
Urgent Workers Solidarity Call-Out, London Sat. 26th October 2024
This is a call-out to all fellow workers in the London and surrounding areas to help extend solidarity with members of the UVW during upcoming strike and anti-fascist mobilisation.
As you may be aware, over 70, mainly migrant, security guards who are UVW members and employed by Wilson James across the Natural History and Science Museums have returned an overwhelming vote (96%) in favour of strike action following a recent ballot. They will begin their strike campaign with 3 days of action between 25-27 October.
What, When and Where
At 10am on Saturday 26 October, there will be a picket outside the museum, London SW7. Supporting the picket will be people from the migrant workers’ bloc of the anti-fascist mobilisation taking place that day. After the picket we will march together to central London to counter the far-right hate preacher Tommy Robinson and his supporters who are protesting in London that day.
With the risk of the scapegoating and racist rhetoric around migrants spreading around the streets of London on 26 October we ask you to join us to provide a powerful antidote, counter-narrative and counter-action.
Wobblies will be joining the workers on the picket line on Saturday 26 October at 10am and the anti-fascist mobilisation after.
Please help mobilise your fellow workers, your friends and comrades, bring your IWW flags and banners in order for a visible IWW presence in solidarity with our sisters and brothers in the UVW at this time.
