Solidarity with Ukraine! Solidarity with the Workers of Ukraine!<\/h2>\n

Public Meeting:
\n10.30am, Saturday 22nd October
\nJohn Smith House 145-165 West Regent St. Glasgow<\/p>\n

Speakers from the recent Ukraine Solidarity Campaign delegation to Ukraine:
\n– Chris Ford (Ukraine Solidarity Campaign)
\n– Alena Ivanova (Another Europe is Possible)<\/h4>\n

The war in Ukraine continues to dominate headlines: Ukraine’s counter-offensive, Putin’s escalating rhetoric, sham \u2018referendum\u2019 in Russian-occupied regions of Ukraine, and Putin\u2019s military mobilisation decree.<\/p>\n

The focus of the media is primarily on the extreme cost to human lives and the Ukrainian economy as a result of the Russian invasion. But Ukraine’s labour movement is not just fighting at the front.<\/p>\n

It is also fighting to defend and extend rights and protections for all. As it struggles to continue to fund its military resistance, the Ukrainian government and Parliament has also proposed emergency measures dramatically weakening employment rights.<\/p>\n

With rising inflation, energy insecurity and the urgent need for more military and humanitarian support, Ukraine needs our solidarity more than ever. At the same time, global powers are already initiating discussions about reconstruction and pushing their agendas. But what kind of Ukraine are Ukrainians bravely fighting for?<\/p>\n

A recent USC solidarity delegation to Ukraine met with trade unions and left groups in Ukraine. It discussed recent developments in the war, workers rights and the future reconstruction of Ukraine. Organisations met by the delegation included:
\nThe Federation of Trade Unions; the Confederation of Free Trade Union; the State Employees Union; the NGPU Miners Union; the Free Trade Union of Rail Workers; the Education Workers Union; Sotsiyalnii Rukh and the Social-Democratic Platform.<\/p>\n

This meeting has been organized to provide first-hand accounts of the struggles of the Ukrainian people and of Ukrainian workers, and to help build labour movement solidarity with those struggles.<\/p>\n

Organised by Ukraine Solidarity Campaign(Scotland). PCS, ASLEF, and the NUM are affiliated to the USC at a national level. Affiliates in Scotland include local GMB, Unite, NUJ and ASLEF branches.
