Hands off HRI

Calderdale Trades Council has supported Hands off HRI since it was set up in 2016 to campaign against the closure or downgrading of hospitals or health services within the Huddersfield and Calderdale area  - particularly against the planned closure of Huddersfield Royal Infirmary, its A&E department and acute services.

The People’s Assembly Against Austerity has published a pamphlet -                                          In Place of Austerity: a programme for the people.

“It is essential that we, together with the Trade Unions, continue to build the mass movement further to force the Tories out of office, and to help elect and sustain a future anti-austerity progressive government – which, of course, would be under fierce attack by the bankers, big business monopoly corporations and their pet politicians and media.     This is the clear aim of the People’s Assembly.”

This useful pamphlet can be used to win more people to an anti-austerity position, convincing them that there is a real, practical and achievable alternative.
