Thanks for coming! Something
like 300 members attended the very successful rally at the Station
Hotel, Hull on the morning of Thursday April 24th. Delegates from other unions came
to lend their support. UCU the college lecturers were striking as were many Unison members. PCS were also striking and
some came to the rally. East Riding Council listed the effects here.
All the press were there; Calendar News, BBC Look North, Radio
Humberside, Viking FM, KCFM and the Hull Daily Mail. Here are some pictures of the our rally:
