Resisting Covid austerity at the ballot box - first TUSC candidates in place for May's polls
Last week's meeting of the Trade Unionist and Socialist Coalition (TUSC) steering committee approved the first batch of candidates to contest the various elections taking place on Thursday May 6th.
The February 24th meeting was the first steering committee since the TUSC zoom conference on February 7th, attended by over 500 people. It also finalised the TUSC core policy platform for the local elections in May, which can be found at https://www.tusc.org.uk/policy - alongside the Scottish TUSC manifesto for the parliamentary contest in Scotland and the TUSC Wales Senedd election platform.
The first set of candidates for May include an executive council member of the Bakers, Food and Allied Workers Union (BFAWU), which is currently undergoing a members' consultation about whether they want to remain affiliated to the Labour Party, and two members of the UNISON Local Government Service Group Executive, out of a total of 19 UNISON members on the list.
