May Day stalls

Brighton and Hove unitary UNISON branch is marking May Day on Brighton seafront and we've been asked if we want to join in.

From 11am – 3pm on Monday, May 2, Unison is running a stall on the seafront on the seafront at the end of East Street, near the "kissing wall".

May Day is the day when trade unionists peacefully celebrate the achievements of the union movement, when we recommit ourselves to achieving economic and social justice for all. It is also a day when we remember our sisters and brothers who are suffering victimisation, such as trade unionists in Colombia, Palestine and Iraq.

Stalls at the event are free and Brighton and Mid Sussex NUJ has been asked if we want to run one. It could be a great opportunity for us to raise our profile in Sussex, forge links with other union activists and recruit new members.

There will be provision for union reps to take the opportunity to deliver speeches or addresses to those present throughout the day.

**NB from Adrian Colley. I won't be able to take part as I'll just have finished working seven nights in a row. Is there anyone out there who would be interested in taking this on? It occurred to me that maybe Argus journalists might be interested in publicising their pay campaign via an NUJ presence. Just a thought.
