Stratford Question Time - Mon 1st June 09 - 6:30pm - 9pm

European Election Candidates
Question Time Event - Stratford Town Hall

Public Meeting
Monday 1st June 6.30 pm- 9 pm
Council Chamber, Stratford Town Hall
Broadway Stratford
All welcome

• Join us to put election candidates on the spot
• Vote for quality public services and fair pay on 4 June

The Public and Commercial Services Union (PCS) are holding a question time event for politicians standing as candidates in the European elections which are to be held on Thursday 4 June. As trade unionists we will be asking candidates where they stand on our key issues of fair pay, job cuts, office closures and the privatisation of our public services.

If you are a trade unionist, anti-privatisation campaigner, pensioner or student, or someone concerned by these issues, you are welcome to come to this event.

In the current economic climate it is even more crucial to ensure that politicians do not take our votes for granted, but pledge to do something about improving public services, job losses, cuts and closures. Join us in putting candidates on the spot and come and hear where they stand on these important issues.
