Secretary’s Report
Wolverhampton, Bilston & District Trades Union Council

October 2008 22 affiliated branches 18,600 trade unionists info@wolvestuc.org.uk

HELP NEEDED:
BNP is standing in the October 23rd by-elections in Wednesfield North and Wednesfield South, taking place following the unceremonious exit of the sitting Tory councillors. The fascists have stood 3 times now in Wednesfied North without success. Their vote has been successively driven back since its initial highest point, but it is essential we do not let them get a foot-hold. Wolverhampton Trades Union Council is organising a massive leafleting operation to ensure the fascists are stopped by urging voters to come out and vote for other parties. Our campaign is already underway. We’ve produced 10,000 anti-fascist postcards.
Remaining October leafleting sessions:
Saturday 11th & Sunday 12th @ 10.30am 

Tuesday 14th Wednesday 15th Friday 17th

Saturday 18th & Sunday 19th @ 10.30am
