Friday's theme in MOBILISE: The Anti Cuts Festival is defending our rights. The ConDem agenda cuts across the legal rights of workers and service users. Jobs and care packages are cut, pay and pensions frozen. Workers and service users are united in their experience of justice as a remote and hypothetical notion. Our discussions at MOBILISE today combine equality rights, human rights and employment rights as they apply to everyone - and we ask: “How Do We Get Access to Justice?”Come along to Fringe Venue 138 - UNISON Office, Belford Road and join in - campaigning can be fun.
