A message from Tom Mellish (Secretary TUC JCC):
Hopefully you are all clicking on occasionally to the ATFPS website to get the latest news on the CSR. What you may have missed is the excellent ‘Cuts Watch’ which gives a blow by blow account, on a daily basis, of the blows this ConDem govt is landing on working families. It makes for depressing reading but it has all the information you need to get out to your local community. There’s a really useful ‘How much do You stand to lose from the CSR cuts’ calculator – good to take to a local cuts campaign stall if you have the right equipment. The information in the ‘Cuts Watch’ would also make ideal subjects for letters to local media, councillors, MPs etc on particular topics. Have a look at www.touchstoneblog.org.uk/category/cuts-watch/ and see what I mean.
