Don't let them destroy the BBC

Our BBC is under threat from massive cuts and the NUJ is joining with other BBC unions to make the public aware of what is happening and build a campaign to stop it. 

In Brighton this Saturday (November 21) we are gathering outside the Theatre Royal in New Road from 10.30 and till 2pm to leaflet passers-by and make a noise. Please come along if you can. The leaflet is attached.

And this Thursday NUJ member Mary Brodbin is speaking at a climate change event sponsored by Brighton & Hove Trades Council. It's upstairs at the Quadrant pub by the Clocktower in Brighton, starting 7.30pm. There's a leaflet attached for that, too.

This Thursday's meeting: Michelle Stanistreet at The Eagle

As well as welcoming NUJ General Secretary Michelle Stanistreet, at our next meeting we'll also be considering motions for the union's Delegate Meeting (DM) in the spring.

DM is the NUJ's national conference, and a chance for members to influence union policy. If you'd like to put forward a motion (or more), please email it to branch secretary Phil Mellows - philmellows@btinternet.com, and we'll discuss it.

Thursday 12 November, 7pm
Upstairs at The Eagle, Gloucester Road
