Tuesday 14th September 7.30 in Casa cellar room "Germany 1930s - how fascism came to power" the fall out from the 1929 financial crash deeply affected Germany's economy the disarray in the workers movement in Germany gave the Nazis opportunity to use the situation to their advantage can any lessons be drawn or parallels be made to the capitalist crisis of today following the collapse of the banking system?

National Shop Stewards Network Lobby of TUC – 12th September 2010, 11.30am, Central Convention Centre, Manchester see attached
Despite the clear need for a massive national demonstration against the cuts, the TUC have so far failed to call one. At the last General Council the furthest they would go was put forward by Brendan Barber: "campaign week on w/c 18 October including: major rally (lobby of Parliament) on 19 October (eve of CSR), regional day of action with rallies and events across the country (date to be determined), national event – form/timing to be determined." This it can mean all things to all people. Vital we continue to push for a national demonstration as a prelude to a national public sector strike.
